    Too good. EXP, SH, light, and wing positions are all incredible. In a perfect world the bird would have its head on a bit straighter; while the bird is angling a bit towards you, the head, -- while square to the back of the camera -- is turned slightly away from the line of the body. In any case, I wish it were mine.

    with love, artie

    Love the wing position and the colours on the bird. The BG colour shows the bird well.

    Hi Tim, you couldnt have captured a better flying pose if you tried. Perfect show of the full downstroke of the near wing, and I do like the colours on the wing too. Gotta love their red eyes. Well captured.

    Lovely pose and colours, the details in the wings are fascinating, I have really enjoyed looking at this image.
