    That is amazing detail and light captured on the underside of his wings. What a wingspan... he looks like he wants to give the whole world a hug :D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Excellent capture Mike! No sure if I've ever seen that kind of under wing detail on a BIF photo.
    Well Done!

    Beautiful Mike. Although it was brief, it was nice meeting you on Saturday. I hope you weren't completely put off by your bad luck with the Eagles, or Adams stellar navigational skills trying to find the hidden lake.

    Hi Nick! It was good to meet you as well. Adam did have us running around, I guess he got some pretty bad directions.eek7.gif I learned something valuable from the weekend however and take it all in stride my friend. Hope to shoot with you again sometime. :D
