 Fun feeding the birds today. Out on my new boat, and a little difficult staying steady!! We were cooking on the gas grill and the burgers gave away our location! Was tossing hamburger bun chunks in the air above my head and clicking away. Laying on my back for this one and saw him coming right at me, lifted my head and shot. Asa Bear Music said, this definitely had a little luck with it.

Rcv'd the most comments while voting on this one and a new PB for me.

Thank you to all that viewed/commented.

Outstanding. A lot of tension in this composition. The way wing and tail both exactly touch the edge of the frame certainly is a bit of luck :-)
