Incredible timing and nice capture considering the weather in HK.

But....it's not flying. Great shot, KK - really like the wing position.

Even your non-flight shots have wings up! Very nice. I like the red eye. Nice exposure.

Interesting pose, certainly one to make me think. I've got to be honest and say I'm not 100% convinced. While this is technically good (as we have come to expect), it seems to lack some of the usual grace I'm used to seeing in your work KK.

Excellent. I am not surprised that this bird appears to be about to fly and you started shooting. :D A nice stretch for sure.
