    Alan,

    This is one of the most beautiful pintail in flight shots I've ever seen. Always fun to see you posting fantastic work away from the "set-up" arena. Thanks for this one.

    Fantastic pose, exposure, sharpness and pop. Is that the background as taken? JR

    WOW! This is beautiful. Love all the water on the belly and mid air droplets. I think the head angle is perfect and the pose is OK too:p The provides so much clarity.

    I remember that day Alan :) Fantastic lift off pose with excellent details. I just calibrated my monitor last night, and to my eye the colour space looks off a bit on this image, especially if I compare it to similar images I have from the same location and same day.
