Hello Willie

Great shot. This guy has a really large meal awaiting him.

I love the water action below the bird. Nice story image.

You got three awesome things about this shot focus,timing and color!

Thank you so very much for a great review and high score! I am going to take her out!

Where are you taking her? Are you going to get her some flowers?
So Saturday is my birthday and I am turning the big 38! So how does it feel to have a 38 year old daughter lol? For me I am crying over it. I am so close to 40 :( I am getting old! I found two grey hairs the other day!
That's it I am getting me a box of hair dye lol!
But enough with that. Make sure you give her some flowers ;) .
Love ya,
Happy Valentines day,
Jerri

Very cute. I love the title and this put a big smile on my face. I love the postioning of the wings and the splashes from take off. Nice color and detail. How have you been my friend? It has been a while. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so very much! I have been very busy and have not had the time to be here! I see now I have 80 messages & don't know when I can look through them! I like being busy but I have had more to do than time! You have a nice day!

amazing capture of the wingspan. I can see the eyes, inspite of the distant shot. Love the clarity of the details of the plumage and those splashes in the water. Excellent natural lighting. Nice, natural color of the lake. Well captured.
