The red-taileds are back, and I am sure having some fun trying to catch a decent flight shot!

Looks like you're doing just fine Ray! Terrific look at the wings and talons. Great eye contact too. Like the vegetation in the LLC.

[James Salywoda]

Awesome shot Ray great pose, detail and eye contact I agree with Doug on the added touch of habitat very nice.....

[Tony Whitehead]

Nothing to complain about here. Those curving primaries and fanned tail are brilliant, head angle and eye beautiful. Soft cloud textures in the BG is very good.

[Juan Aragonés]

Fantastic action Ray. I agree with the previous comments and I would like that this image would benefit a lot with a little touch of contrast/saturation to the bird.

[Stu Bowie]

Superb angle of flight, and this is pin sharp. Well captured.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I really like the pose and the wing position!!!

[Mike Veltri]

Nice shot Ray, the wing spread is great.
