Beautiful lines and wonderful subtle whites. Love the water drops on his feathers, its soft and crisp at the same time. The title is perfect as the entire flow of the picture is a graceful work of art!

Comment by JeffryZ:
IT feels like parts stuck together. The image does not have the graceful flow of curves I would expect on a shot like this.

Comment by Skip:
over 20,000 men died in 3 hours, making this the absolute deadliest day in our nation's history, and one of the most deadliest days in all warfare. almost all of them died fighting hand to hand. and they all died fighting for something they believed in. this place moves me like no other place i've ever been. and it just sickens me that we would let 40,000+ people a year die in traffic crashes (with a third of them involving alcohol), but the thought of one more soldier dying while fighting for someone else's freedom on foreign soil is enough to make us cut and run. i guess after 200 years, we have nothing left to fight for.

sorry for the rant, i just kinda connected with the image. nice work, btw.

The barren trees really add to the emotion of this shot, and black and white was a good choice as well, I think.
