Nice to see the light through the wings. Great wing position but feel it going away from you does not work here. Image lacks impact for my taste. I think back lighting is a very difficult effect to pull off well. There are a handful of images I have seen where it works. TFS Colin![]()

Colin, I agree with Dumay, Not enough impact in this image.
Love the dynamic landing pose with wing full spread and open beak. Good DOF on the bird too. I too wish the bird is landing toward you and front lighting in this case.
