Here's another shot from our Nome trip. I like this one for not only the top side flight pose but also the habitat included.

Canon 5D3 500F4 1.4x 1/2500 F8, iso 800, handheld

Nice one Nate. I like the top side view. If I can ever be of any assistance in Nome, by all means let me know as I don't view us as competitors at all and I love working with all the guys up there, swapping location tips for birds, fixing each others lame vehicles from Stampede, etc!

Good exposure and flight pose. If this were mine I might consider extending the snow all the way through the upper right corner. Incredible details esp on the bill. Sharon

Great extension on the wings and love the look of the long tail. Habitat is interesting too - exposure looks spot on

Thanks for your comments everyone, I will crop this a little bit tighter on the right to remove the corner without snow.
