    A very nice image Fabs ! I like the orange color around his wings !! I like that you let the dark line at top to let us see that he's flying over the water.

    Fabs,
    I like the composition. However, the light and colours take this to a different level. I don't know what is the top band. Looks like you picked up a paint brush and water colours. Lovely.
    Cheers,

    Lovely flying posture, and really stands out against the amazing sunrise colour. Well captured Fabs.

    Hi Fabs! Looks stunning to me. Hope the waterfowl are also accumulating at the Click Ponds.

    Great, Fabs. Love the posture and the back lighting through the flight feathers.

    Yes, Mike, face and eye were lifted a bit in curves.

    Great light and mood, I particularly like the glowing tips of the wing feathers.

    I love the image, the light, the pose, and the colors but with no flash under the wings (and presumably no flash used) the light eye just does not make sense to my brain...

    What I really like is the orange glow of the wingtips. Nicely done!
