This is a good flight shot. I like the way the feathers seem to blend the back of it's head into it's body in this photo. It is interesting that the flight feathers in it's wing are all different colors.

Excellent shot, in every way. I see that you have cropped it per the suggestion.

You got an unusual angle on the wings in this shot, and by lining the body up with the plane of focus, managed to get the entire body to come out sharp. The bokeh is excellent for the subject, and the cell walls of the wings stand out nicely with the overhead light. It's a very nice macro, and a pleasing subject to look at.

That intense eye seems to be the focal point in this for me. Nice contrasty shot, and, with drops too! : )

Nice! Even in the winter time, it's not easy to get a clear view of a deer in trees like this. You had good light too.

This has a great blue sky, and nice detail in the flight feathers. I spotted one of these turkey buzzards a while back that was totally mixed up black and white.

There is a pond near here where birds roost on a small island in the center of the lake, as these are doing. Ibis are cool looking birds, and make great subjects. The angled line of birds make this shot interesting to me.

It is fortunate that you were there to see this event, and also that you were at the place where the two trees could be used in the shot. They sort of make the shot by emphasizing the flat and wide open expanse of plain going on to the featureless horizon. Magnificent view.
It's a little dark on my monitor, however, that gives it an exotic mysterious magical element.

The light reflecting off the breast feathers is a treat. These are very beautiful birds, and you have captured that with this shot.
