Wonderful capture. Love the wing position and the feather detail. Well done.

Interesting, Sandy. I haven't seen much in the way of breeding colors getting started yet in Texas. You'd think they'd be earlier. Sweet shot with a nice angle to show off the plumage.

. Very nice color, detail, and wing position. I like the ocean horizon as a background.

Hi Sandy, I'm behind on commenting but I had to let you know I really like this image. The dynamic pose and color palette are amazing. Love that topside view! devil
