    Chris:

    Your shooting angle here is perfect to show both wings to their best advantage.
    Well exposed, sharp.

    I like the subtle detail of the shadow of head on rear wing.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Nice wings-down position with good sharpness. Exposure looks pretty good, but I think you could have gone a little brighter. I also am a fan of the shadow of the head on the far wing.

    Great down-wing position and flight angle. Nice detail in the whites and blacks on the wings. Well done.

    Thanks all! I wasn't sure if I should post this one due to the all to common blue sky, but I felt the compostion was strong. I was pleased that it came straight out of the camera this way with no cropping. I don't get many that way.

    Hey Chris, who says the 30D is too slow for this type of photography!! ;-)

    Although I agree that something other than plain blue sky is more interesting the pose is very strong. Love the ridges on the neck. Good image overall, well done!
