Excellente prise de vue,la pose de l'oiseau est parfaite et la lumière fait bien ressortir les détails dans le plumage.

Félicitations pour cette belle composition.

Merci!
Joseph.

great catch... too bad the bird was not against a full sky or even better, only watter for added contrast - but that's easier said than done.
:)
thanks for sharing
