I have seen birds do this, it seems like they are just falling but they do it with such gracefulness.
Well captured female cardinal .she is well positioned within the frame .well focused, this image is clear, nice management of the light , I like the way it illuminates her tail feathers.
Well composed in natural surroundings.
Your notes are interesting and appreciated.
Well presented!

    This was a fun shot, looks really goofy when rotated 90 degrees too. Sent it that way to some friends, had them wondering how the bird was flying straight upward :)

What stands out to me is the attention to light â€" the highlights and shadows on the bird create a striking contrast that gives the picture its soul. It's a beautiful blend of technique and observation. Well done!.
