Great angle on this guy. Love the fact that you are slightly above. Did not know you could fly. (smile) Well done.

Excellent flight shot, Rob. Sharp throughout, nicely frozen and good detail in both whites and blacks. And all the field marks, too.

You did see some fascinating birds on that trip. All the techs look good and the flight pose shows him off well. How did you get above him?
