Thanks for looking :)

You nailed this one! I like the eye and the wing to wing sharpness along with the deep saturated colors.

I would personally prefer a more up or down wing position, but this is still a cool gliding pose. Quite sharp, great exposure, and eye contact. Seems like a bunch of you have been having quite a show for the past few weeks!! :-)

Bill, you have me in awe. What a fantastic capture. The falcon's eye is so penetrating. Thanks for posting. :)

[Doug Brown]

Great light and great sharpness. I'd like to see the frame earlier or later in the series than this one, hoping for a better wing position. Thanks for posting!

[Raymond Barlow]

killer shot Bill, sweet light, you must have stayed late!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, eye contact and BG. It would be great to see more of the wings and back but I like the gliding pose.

Class image! Love the color saturation and tonality!
