Ye Gads, without much luck, Debbie!! Are you kidding me.... This is absolutely beautifully observed, the marvellous skyscape and those slightly ominous clouds, and the wings of the bird which draw my eyes into the scene.
This is gorgeous. Blimey, I'd like to see you on a 'lucky' day, then! ha ha
Great work

The sky is just fine with or without the bird! The different cloud formations give the image a serene and ominous feel all at the same time.

Yes, birds in flight are no easy catch . . but, as Dobbino says, you have a great background enough for a pic anyhows.
