How funny. It looks like this bird could almost be looking down and it naturally looks like it doesn't have a head, since we are seeing it from behind. Or perhaps it has its head in the clouds. That was a very clever way to hopefully catch a shot of a bird from behind when you can't see the head. I hadnt thought of that. Too bad the sky isn't a bit more defined. The overall pic looks a bit washed out. But I understand when you have very light sky and light bird, it's just the way it is. Good thinking on this.

thanks so much for your comments;
the sky is just blue: no clouds....

I had to look twice LOL. It almost looks like smoke coming from the top of where its head should be but it's a cloud. It's a tad blurry but that could just be my eyes. I think it's a very inventive capture. Thanks for sharing!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an amusing view of that bird up there. Hope your camera did not get splashed? Nicely done!

After seeing so many headless birds, the one thing I do when I get up in the morning is to check and feel my head!:) What an angle n the shot. I don't want to say what I am seeing!:) Thanks for sharing!
