Nico:

Nicely exposed, good colors. Wish the back wing didn't merge with the head.

Cheers

Excellent flight pose, sharpness & underwing detail. I like the fanned tail. TFS

Like the sharpness, but agree that I'd rather not see the wing merged with the head.

Looks good for the most part, but I do agree with the head/wing merge. Sharp and well exposed. Nice BG and I likethe subtle streaks in it.

Hi Nico, I believe you spent a bit of time up at Mankwe - and a great inflight shot you brought back. Was he on his way to perch. The PK pops nicely from the BG.

LC was good sunday, not so good today. :w3

I really like the flight position and the BG.
I have to say that the wing merge doesn't bother me.
well done,
Gail

Nice KF, very nice BG and light. I too wish for an image without the wing merged with head but it is very hard I'm sure with these fast flyers!
