Outstanding flight work Sam. The background really gives these "pop" factor.

Very pretty GBH IF images Sam!
I like the perspective which gives a wonderful sampling of the wingtops against the almost monochromatic water below. Does set the bird off nicely from the background as Steve said above and is an unusual perspective. You must have been up on a bank of the lake or something. Very nicely done!
