Great calling pose and I also like the dangling feet. I would give it a tad more room at the bottom and the bird looks a bit soft on my monitor.

Not sure that the pano crop is the best choice here, and it does look soft. The calling pose is very cool, and the bit of vegetation at bottom adds alot too.

Agree with the above comments but love the wonderful action you caotured in this image Raul. This image really gives the feeling of speed and the dangling feet and calling pose are great.

HI Raul,

Alex got it right! Looks soft and I would add more room all the way around.

Love the dangling feet and open beak Raul! Good eye contact too. The bird is OOF; seems like you had enough shutter speed, but faster is better. Push that ISO a little higher! Thanks for posting!
