 Very little adjusting - not even a crop - gotta love the colors from that 70-200 f4.

This image was shot from the ground but I was fortunate enough to have clouds in just the right spot which made it look like I was in an elevated position.

This scored better than I had hoped so pretty pleased about that.

Tilt adds a good dimension to the shot. Well captured and framed.

I think the tilted perspective makes this shot stand out.

What a wonderful action shot! I understand better framing wont be easy from where you took this picture. 7/10.
