    This is a fairly old image, taken over the skies of Cape Town. I liked the banking angle in this.

    Lovely comp, great details and perfect light. Just love how the red bill stands out. Very well done Stuart.

    Stuart lovely BIF, also like the red bill which stands out nicely. I would maybe try get more out of the sky, looks a bit dull or maybe dark WDYT

    Thanks Vivaldo. I actually darkened the sky a tad in pp, so maybe I will have a relook at it.

    Thanks all for your feedback. Always appreciated.

    Stuart:

    Well done, there is just enough variation in the sky to keep it from being too bland. Would prefer a bit more in the way of clouds in a perfect world, but your decision to darken the sky works for me.


    Nice angle in frame, and the eye shows quite well, not easy for these guys.

    Cheers

    Thanks Ofer, I agree the whites could be whiter.
