Way to go Geoffrey, you did very well. Wonderful wing position, and tail spread. They are such a beautiful bird.

[dankearl]

I think you could sharpen a tad more, but a nice pose and nice light.

[John Mack]

Sweet light. Like the pose and the look on the bird. The darker background is nice as well.

Thanks everyone. This is a lifer for me, and thank you Joe for suggesting this location.
