Chas:

Great banking dorsal view, with fine exposure, head position, comp. Good job shooting this as a vertical.

My only point is that the tail doesn't stand out well for me against the snow, but the lesser coverts pop pretty well. Perhaps some minor luminosity tweaking on the tail would help separate it better.

Cheers

Kudos on capturing this in vertical. Love that topside view. Excellent techs as always. The best flight shot of this species I have seen so far.

[Sid Garige]

Brilliant pose and exceptional details Chas. fantastic image.

Brilliant on the exposure . The sharpness is amazing and the whites look perfect !!

[Grace Scalzo]

This image engaged me immediately and I looked at it for a long while. Aside from the dynamic pose there is so much interest in the ice and snow, so much texture.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Amazing image!! I wouldn't change a thing. The yellow bill pops up nicely, and that is one beautiful wingspread.

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely dynamic banking pose. Excellent use of equipment to capture in vertical as well. I am with Randy on the tail feathers. Hard not to say it is a stellar image.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Love the pose and really nice wing detail. As much as it can be distracting, I find the bg adds to the excitement .

" You had me when you said shot as a vertical"! Amazing shooting ability to do that. Lovely wingspread,
