Good looking flight photo, I like the down stroke showing the topside of the wings and the sigmoid curve in the neck. Good size of bird in the frame, the white on the head really stands out. :toast:

Tom,

I like the setting, the flight pose, the downward sweep of the wings and the curve of the neck.
