    Its been a while since I have posted anything so here is one taken about a month ago.
    This was taken during the Flight School Workshop by Doug and Jim. The Juvenile Elegants
    have such nice wing markings.

    As good as it gets James. Excellent wing-tip-to-wing-tip sharpness and superb BG. Liked the crop a lot too.

    You are right, those wing markings are quite beautiful - and you've showcased them nicely here. I like your chosen crop, and the slightly ajar bill.

    Awesome capture Jim! Never did get the frame I wanted with that bird; I would have been pretty happy with this one.
