Went out on my boat this morning in spite of high winds. I think the stiff breeze kept these guys grounded from looking for breakfast as none were flying.

Not easy hand holding at 700mm rocking up and down.

Extra nice job hand holding in a moving boat. I like the pose and the subtle BG colors. Well done.

The composition and crop is excellent but I am not sure I like the post processing. I find the post and some of the white feathers a little hot looking and other colours looking a bit washed out. You are to be congratulated though for getting this shot from a boat on a windy day with a 500 F4 and a 1.4, well done.

Top marks for hand holding in a boat, great pose, nice and sharp on the eye.
Great looking raptor.

Nice work.
