I love the wing position. Would wish for a little less tree clutter but still a very nice shot.

Cool shot! 8) I like the way you caught him with the wings open and arched. It does indeed remind me of an angel.

Great capture. The blue sky looks a little too blue but that is the VS I'm sure and what the original slide looks like.

Absolutely gorgeous. The sky is so saturated and contrast with the whites of the bird that catches the eye in a wow of admiration.

I would die for an opportunity like this! The owl looks fantastic and the open wings really are angelic. :) I'm not familiar with Kodak VS and am wondering if that is the cause of the super saturated BG.
