You nailed this one both exposure and composition, Angus! :roll:
Looks like a typical prespective shooting from the bank of NSW to me ...

Cool flight shot. I like the clear view of the tops of the wings.

Very nice shot Angus. I really like the top side view. I think this could benefit from some warming up, i seems a bit too blue/cool to me as is.

"Just" ?

This is a beautiful pose of one of my more wanted species.

Wow this is too cool - I didn't realize they had white wings.

Angus, those white wings and tail are very cool. This is beautiful. The wing position is great here and you nailed the shot. Nicely done! :D

Thank you all for the comments!

>> Looks like a typical prespective shooting from the bank of NSW to me ...
Yes, in deed. :lol: We need more spots for shooting... :(

Chris, your are right. I found it a bit on the cool side when compared with some other shots on the same day. Having been tricked by auto-WB for a few times, I now tend to set the WB to a single or several settings for the each shooting session. Now I realised this will cause problems too. Like in this case, the image may become too warm or too cool as the cloud turns thicker or thiner. I guess there are no quick lunches. :P
