Made this image a couple of years ago and it's still one of my favorite flight shots to date. I kind of like how the primary feather tips and wingtips are translucent and the blue sky shows right through them.

1V-HS, 300 2.8, 1.4X, Provia pushed one stop. Thanks for looking.

I can see why it's a favorite. Wish I had one close to it.

There's no wonder why it's a favorite!! I love the C-shape the wings make.

Jim,

Great shot. Love the view of the eye, the open beak, and the circular wing pattern.
