Glad you guys are able to get to the birds this year !!! Artie's clean up did make a difference

I like the feather detail/coloration and distance cottonwood bg !!! Nice one jIm !!!

[Tony Whitehead]

Lovely BG and very dynamic with the air rippling across those primaries.

[David Quanrud]

Very nice with the angled pose and head turn toward the camera, and the lighting is super. Good to see the wind is cooperating!

[Stu Bowie]

I like the headon angle in this, and the mottled colours of blue and brown in the BG. Well captured Jim.

Everything works on this shot. I love the detail in the feathers, and the posture is top notch.

I like this image a whole lot. Besides nailing all the technicals, you managed to capture one of those awkward moments of readjusment when heavy birds come in for a landing in variable wind conditions-kinda like landing a Super Cub on a gusty day. Stunning image!
