At my favorite lake, this GBH was very accommodating in the warm afternoon light. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Very good, Jerry. I really like the wing position and the angle tou got on this one.

Very nice photo. Nice background and great detail and color on the bird. One small thing; you might want to remove the OOF brands on the left side of the frame.

Most excellent, Jerry. If this is full frame you really nailed the composition. Yeah, the warm light is very pleasing.

Excellent details and a great angle on this flight shot Jerry, a little bit unlucky that the shoreline intersects it's body. devil

Lovely esp composition. I likethe shadow of another bird on the left, and the off-center placement of the bird.
