Please share your thoughts...

I like this primarily for the gorgeous rim light especially on her fanned tail. Motion doesn't bother me, but I suspect that this might have been stronger with a faster shutter - It might have given a little more separation of her wings from the background. Nonetheless, it's still one of those shots that make me want to be there. Regards, jerry

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on this image! Yes, you are indeed correct about the shutter speed but I had been capturing a monument in the backgound of the marsh area at a slow shutter speed to use as much early morning light as I could, when suddenly she took flight. I didn't even see her there as she was behind some grasses so I took the shot and hoped for the best. If only I had been prepared I think I could have done much better.
