Black Brant-in flight

[Bonnie Block]

I managed to get the camera on one of these guys at a local park. They are quite spooky and not easy to get near.

Nicely done and sharp. The open bill is a big plus. EXP right on. Not my favorite wing position but I do like the detail on the upper surface of the far wing.

later and love, artie

This is really nice. I love the calling pose and that it is nice and sharp.

Bonnie,

Congratulations on creating this wonderful image. Sharp image, nice light and a complementing background. Thnaks for sharing this image.

[Mike Wilson]

Love this one! The angle, the open bill, the blue water bg, all great. I would just crop a bit off the bottom if it was mine. I'm jealous, I have been trying to get a shot of Brant like this.

Super detail and I really like that open beak.
