OK......now we are talking perfect. You get so many great shots, but I don't think you could have captured this better if you'd gone out with a ruler and a T-square and positioned those wings exactly where you wanted them. That is soooo impressive. ::applauds::

The stillness of the water juxtaposed against a moment in this bird's flight is wonderful. A lovely photo. Have you considered flipping this or any of your photos to show movement from left to right? I think that adds something.
