wonderful shot - count those feathers!! Love this. Have found that I am getting a crick in my neck though as keep coming back to it and find I naturally am turning to look at it side on. Will send you the chiropractor bill! - claire

Wonderful lighting on this one, Doug. I'm impressed that you're braving the cold temps to get some photos for the challenge. It's so cold here that I don't know if I'll have any for Eligible.

Great light and it was nice of him to pose for you so you could get this great shot! Love the backlighting on the tail and wings! CJ

Opps, sorry I forgot the verb "IS". Still so damn good picture.
Is "damn" a bad word? English is not my first language as some of you know.

Nice light on the feathers Doug - Debi

Thanks for the comments guys. This was taken with the kit 18-55mm lens and is almost straight out of the camera. I did crop it just a bit closer but not much. My son and I were feeding ducks so there were a few of these doing fly bye's nice and slow making it easy on me. Close enough to me that I was shooting with my mouth closed. -Doug

Lucky you and great shot also. jano

Very well done Doug & at only 55mm, not much chance to get out of the way if it did a you know wot:-) The lighting & details look very good too but not entirely natural looking, which can happen in some kinds of light. Well done mate.
aam1234 24-Jan-2008 04:53
Damn, this good. Well done, Doug.

Excellent capture. I'm wondering what lens you used, Doug. -tv

I wish I were a bird and could fly at this angle. Oh - and nice details, by the way!
