    Great image Nico, one of the best of this species in flight I have seen. I find it very difficult to show detail when they are flying for some reason. Maybe a touch over-sharpened and I would add a touch of space on top.

    Lovely Nico, great wing position nearly tuching the water. Agree on a bit more space would make this even better.

    I love the feather detail on the back feathers. The light is lovely. A beautiful picture and I love the eye,

    Stunning fly by captured! Like the colours and feather detail. Agree that the extra space looks better.

    A super image!

    Sweet Nico. I have always wanted this shot and have been close a couple of times but the angle just wasnt perfect. This is perfect.
