Default Remember Donovan, anyone???

Went out on a days shoot with UKGlyn. Great weather, great company, but not so great pics (I'm talking about me Glyn). I took loads but only a couple were keepers. Here's one that didn't look so good until I downloaded it, then.....?

Wow Paul this is one outstandning capure buddy. Great contrast with the sky and lovely acccompanying words. Ok yes, I remember Donavan.
Hey Paul, I bet that was some fun the the big fella.. (It's ok he knows I call him that) lol. Maybe we could persuade him to come up to Martin Mere, but he can't bring his Jetski Hehe! Thanks for sharing this beautiful shot Paul.

Dave.

Sunshine came softly through my window today,
Coulda tripped out easy, but I decided to stay....

Yes, I am viewing this at work (darn!) and I do remember Donovan. I like your shot and it's a great "save" of the day.

I have said this many times, Paul, but I have never had success trying to capture a bird in flight. Nicely Done.

Paul B - I've definitely heard of Donovan, but might not be in the optimal age group to have been a groupie!
