[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The title seems strange with this bright cloud in the middle of a blue sky. The little bird really is a nigthhawk. Don't search any stealth plane ;o) A good memory for July 4th in Florida. It wasn't really in Melbourne but it was the closest listed city to Merrit Island.
PS: just add some contrast. Resized for the web.

Belle photo (j'espère que ton nom n'est pas trompeur et que tu comprends le français)
Avant de la voir de plus près je croyais que c'était la mer vue du ciel. Je trouve cette photo harmonieuse avec ce faucon qui vole sous cette étonnante formation nuageuse. Bien cadré en plus, bien vu!

Wonderful view, nice composition and great sky, very nice work
well done

Free like a bird! Bright blue sky, silhouetted bird, puffy clouds, simple really. The framing of the bird within the cloud and it's reference to the centre of the picture is great. Not to scare anybody reading, but my mind is conjuring up elaborate questions as to life...what is the bird doing, what does it see, what does having that freedom to fly feel like. Odd tangent for a mind to take with such a simple picture. None the less a big TFS and sparking these weird questions. Hahaha
