I love these big guys. Watching a formation flying by and hearing all the honking always gives me that "out in the wild feeling", kinda like a wolf howl. I could have cropped a little tighter but I liked the space and clouds in the BG. I have a couple more from this series I may post after PP. It's a shame some of the detail is lost. Going from an uncompressed TIFF to a JPEG to post is a bummer.

Look at that gorgeous detail on the wings!!! Man, you really nailed it! I like the composition you chose - I think it totally works. Only comment would be to have a little more "blue" in the sky to set the clouds off a bit but it's very nice as presented.

If it is an image of a bird with no out-of-the box thinking or post processing then it belongs in Avian Free and WIld (where it wound up).Originally Posted by Bill McCrystyn
This image has the same color cast problems as the other... :)

Thanks again Artie. I will bear this mine going forward.
Color Balance Rework
Color balance applied in much the same way as the other . They were taken 5 minutes apart.
