It was a nice morning here locally for shooting sunlight for a change :) Doug Brown and I were happy to capture some keepers of this species. Which was a first for me getting this bird in flight.

Thanks For Looking

James, Beautiful details and the eye looks perfect. Nice water colored BG. It's always nice to capture one you've been after or don't have. Congrats.

Really pretty flight image. Love the water and the sharpness on the bird.

[Aidan Briggs]

Lovely light, pose, and BG. Not a bird you see in flight often. I wish the wings were fully in the up position, but still like it as is.

Nice color, detail, and pose. Don't see many of these in flight.

[Sid Garige]

Excellent details. Very well done fight image.

[Grace Scalzo]

Nice and sharp! Beautiful, James.

Very cool encounter! Excellent sharpness and eye contact. Enjoyed spending the day photographing with you.

Just great! Sharpness, pop, exposure, composition. Now, about that head angle... :)

Beautiful one James, just wished a little better HA but still, loved the light here, good details and the water BG adds well, congrats..

Beautiful flight image. Lovely sharpness where it is needed.
Again I find the shadows to be over adjusted.
