GBH In Flight

Great Blue Heron flying past me. Almost FF. I added canvas to the top and right side using content aware fill because it was just too tight in the frame. I liked the wing position.

Thanks for looking, comments & suggestions are always appreciated!

Excellent, Steve.  I like the typical gliding wing position and you have very sweet light on the heron.  The plumage detail is outstanding.
