Beautiful takeoff (I'm assuming). Great HA, under and over wing views, EXP, BG, Pose, color and details. Congrats, you maestro of the Sigma...

ps
Also love droplets and composition.

Nice capture. The under wing could do with some lightening, even a touch of Shadows and Highlights would do the trick. Not much of a feed in those drumsticks!

Hi John, beautiful GBH, nice wing position. A down wing position would have been better if you have one in the series because the under wing shadow would be eliminated with light falling on the bird evenly. Detail, colors and background look good. Thank you for sharing.
