I captured this image last February at Ft. Desoto County Park in Pinellas County, Florida. I remember reading in one of Arthur's books the he loved white skies, well I like white skies also. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Joe, I like the direct stare. The head looks sharp. The primaries have kind of a waxy look, probably a Topaz artifact. Nevertheless, I like the overall feel of the image. Thanks for sharing!

Nice incoming pose, and the clump of nesting material is neat. Flat wing positions almost always work well with incoming subjects, no exception here.
