Very nice Michael,
I like the flight capture angle with the wings positioned for a hard banking turn. The details in the under wing are nice and sharp...good show...:cool:

What is that bird doing Mike !!! Neat pose !! Light is a little harsh on top of the head but I'll take it ... have been looking for the for the past month !!! ... no show !!

Except the kind of bright crown area of the bird, I think it's very good overall.

Btw, where is the other leg of it?

Hi Michael - only nit from me is the top of the head - whites look hot maybe.
Like the pose - good show :)
