    … and lift-off! Your timing always amazes me. I cannot imagine how long you waited for this shot, and you achieved such clarity!

    Body is forward
    Wings are up
    With one good wind I’ll be in the sky
    Flying ever so high!
    Why? It fun! I’ll give it a try.

    Another moment captured beautifully! You can feel the tension, the power in the moment before launch. Great!

    What a perfect shot and such incredible detail, Ellen! I can almost feel the wind picking up under the bird’s left wing, which is in motion. Well done!

    Ellen, perhaps this magnificent bird is headed there!

    At first glance, I thought this was an avian statuette in bronze. The item at the bird’s feet gave the impression of a pedestal. Amazing how the brain works, isn’t it? I love photos that surprise you. Not only are they visually interesting but they get you thinking too. So many of your photos are like that.
