Another stellar flight image of these guys.
This is really well done, nice light and superb pose.

3

Nice flight shot with the detail and wing position.

4

Very nice flight shot, Allen. Beautiful reflections on the water in the background.

5

The light, wing position, and exposure are all superb. Well composed. Interesting water background.

This is great. Looks razor sharp, and you got a fantastic wing position. Light is top notch. There isn’t a shadow on the bird anywhere. I’m curious, did you clone anything in the BG, or did the ripples sort of naturally dissipate?

@Lyle_Gruby,
hi Lyle, I didn’t alter the background.
