Not an easy shot to get, and I love the evening colours. Good work.

Hi Austin. Another belting LOWL flight shot :toast: Did you consider removing the OOF wing feather to sharpen up the wing profile? :wink:

Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback. Much appreciated.

@Bob - I half thought about removing the feather. The Hi res image shows quite clearly that it is a feather rather than a "smudge" so for now it stays. Thanks for your inputs.

Cheers

Austin
