    Chas:

    Great pose captured, nice techs, good sense of environment without distracting.

    I assume there was some clutter below the bird, as it would be fun to see how high above the ground he was.

    Cheers

    Hi Chas, love the 'dancing' pose, tack sharp, and those whites are spot on. I do like the flying snow, and wish you had posted this larger.
