Beautifully captured banking shot, Arash. I like the wing reflection helping emphasize the nice low point of view.

Arash:

You are really good to get that image out of a D50! Must be the Capture one you use.

On a more serious note, the nearest to the water really gives this one a boost, sense of depth and action. Excellent dorsal view.

Cheers

Sweet, sweet light and banking pose imaged with perfection. TFS

Beautiful banking pose in lovely light, anchored nicely by the proximity to the water. Cropped horizontal, or shot in portrait?

Perfect composition.
Light is beautiful and the IQ really stands out.
Lovely!
An argument could be made to clone out the bright specular dots on the lower bill.

Killer per ususal. Nice to see the wing just above the water.

lol thanks Randy, before you mentioned I didn't know what D50 was, I went and searched it, it seems like a water down version of Nikon's terrible D100 at the time, which was my first DSLR and the reason I dumped Nikon for almost 2 decades! glad I don't have to shoot with that :D
