Doesn't 'float me boat' quite so much as the first one, but a super image non the less :wavey:

Super pose, and very good even light on the underside. :toast:

They are stunning birds and I never get tired of looking at great photos of them. Superb pose and relative composition. Love the underside light and colour and sharp throughout. I normally hanker after a blue sky with these beauties but this muted blue/grey colour suits the image well :toast: :toast:

Although I've been mostly into landscape photography images like yours Alan, makes my index finger nervous. It looks like it'll be time to pick up 500 for the original reason I bought it for.

It's a cracker indeed :toast:.

Cheers,
Marko
