These are such majestic and graceful looking birds IMO. This gracefulness is in full evidence even while getting ready for take-off, with the reaching curved neck, outstretched wings, flowing fine feathers from the back, and the push from those long legs. Good details on the bird and foreground, with an nice undistracting background. Fine capture, Sandy. :smile:
