The details in the bird look great, Jerry. I also like how well the bird's colors blend with the background (except for the feet!). In the larger version it's neat that you can see a couple of water drops falling off.

Excellent flight shot, Jerry. You caught it at a beautiful angle and the techs are spot on. Nice bg as well.
