Nice capture, love the position you captured it in, it's like it's praying.

Wow! This is really beautiful! The way you have those wings glowing is just ethereal. The posture is unique and so is this bird.

Nominated for POTM!

Thanks Kirk. It is a very unique "pose" that's for sure.

Very original capture, stapo!

I guess the next one will be upside down?

I actually do have one of the bird flying upside down but it's out of focus.

Now that I've seen the 2nd picture it makes me think it leaned over backwards in the first to take off flying in an upside down position and that that's how you captured it upside down like that. Is that what happened? If so that's an odd way to take off. No matter, it's one cool bird, I want one!

I am a bit confused myself. When I look at the initial image I can visualize both scenarios, upside down and right way up. We are "down under" so probably flying upside down ;)
