I caught this GBH landing on the other side of the small lake close to my house. I liked the nice look at the spread wings.

I like this a lot Jerry, great look at that massive wing span. Nice light and although the background appears busy it is very uniform in color and oof enough not to detract from the image IMO. You also had great light to work with. Sweet scene! devil

Very nice lighting and detail here Jerry, I could see cropping this to more of a vertical or square to emphasize the bird more. devil
