    Although the weather on Svalbard is dominated by heavy clouds, when the sun comes out at night the world turns into gold. An oldie from a couple of years back, but that night is still fresh in my memory.

    Jasper:

    Lovely colors in the bird and background. Very complimentary.

    Just the right amount of wing blur to suggest motion, classic composition, nice head turn.

    Thanks so much for sharing!

    What a beautiful bird and what colors! Terrific pose on a perfect BG. Head angle A1, it doesn't get much better than this IMO.
