Nice capture Judy. I like the wing motion and trail of water coming of the feet.

[Ken Lassman]

Really like this one Judy...I personally like the slight wing blur (I have lots of those :o ). Great exposure and BG...the water trail makes it for me. TFS

Hi Judy,

Congrats,

Michael

Judym very bice one!
Like it a lot, The blurr , and H20 dripping off moves you to the top! I'm amazed the 1250/s didn't freeze the wing tips... guess they were a flapping faster! :D
Excellent!

Love this one Judy! The trailing water is always a favorite of mine and I especially like the soft wings and the sharp head. Great shot!

[Colin Knight]

Love the BG, water drop, and wingblur. Wish for a slightly better wing position. Color lookgs great, and sharp eye. TFS!

Beautiful piece of art Judy. A well-captured lift off of this pink beauty.

Hey Judy Lynn,
While I generally prefer sharp wings.....this one works extremely well with the wing blur motion and the water drops just take it over the top for me!!! Just beautiful!

The water trail takes this over the top for me. A very nice arty feel to it. A special image, congrats.
