I like what you like here Robert, the light coming through the wings. Rather than a pano comp I might have cropped in closer from the left if it would have held up.

I agree Robert - the light through the wings makes the shot.

Nice play of light. What I like about these white birds is the translucency of their wings in certain situations, like this.
