Thats a grand shot. Spent many happy hours watching these in Spain and France many years back. Great birds.

Awesome flight image - great wing position and nice details

[Robert Kimbrell]

You gotta be happy with that. The bird gave you such a nice angle, Great light under the wings and a very nice background.

excellent pose light details and sweet BG. I just wish the head was a bit more turned towards us

nice capture,nice pose and BG.

Deluxe lighting and technically perfect in my opinion. I enjoy what's going on in the background to with the soft lines. Okay, maybe there could be fresher tail and primary feathers with less wear, but that's all I can come up with for a suggestion :)

the light here is great. Wonderful feather details of the fully stretched wings and a superb BG

Love the light, pose and cocked head. Getting a little picky, I'd like a little more on top and less on the bottom.

[Bill Dix]

Wonderful flight position, great light and detail. I recognize that 'Giants Castle' BG from prior posts. Nicely done.
