Excellent, Jerry. Perhaps a hair brighter.

Very nice! You caught the bird in a beautiful position. I agree with Sandy, a little levels work to brighten it up a bit would make it even better.

Not to be contrary but I like it as is. It has a ghostlike quality that really appeals to me. Excellent!!

Jerry,

Cool shot. The wing position and neck curve are very nice.
