Excellent Banking Pose!!!! You need to start looking for new subjects to add to your portfolio ;-) No doubt your work is the best but you need to look for new birds to shoot. It would for surely make things more challenging especially for the species that don't give you a high percentage of opportunities. :)

Nikon has already two excellent cameras, they are called D800 and D4. Gotta keep up with the news lol :bg3:

Any peregrines in SoCal your way?

True:) I'm looking for the D300s replacement that long talked about D400 that's way overdue :D I'm not sure of any Peregrines but if I do I will let you know.

I think they ditched the APS-S in the pro line!

A lot to like. Great feather detail, pose, and exposure with darks and whites under control.

This one really pops, Arash. The large version is very nice.

Hi Arash, lovely light, well exposed, and the banking angle shows both off nicely. I like the seperation from the water BG.
