Exposed Wires

The Score sheet makes for automatic deductions for any exposed wires. Some judges would not give a first place to a mount with exposed wires. The most impresive flying mounts are the ones that are difficult to figure out, how it is done. A branch barely touching the bird. A toe touching water. a primary feather as an attachment point. One bird attached to another and barely touching. A bird appearing to be suported by grass. These things can be difficult to pull off, but when they are, they are very nice to see.
