Hi Jim, the BG needs another round of noise reduction and the bird lacks details (is this one a big crop?) but the Bg is outstanding and I like the action a lot. Very good exposure job but I think that this image has not your usual high quality standard :-)

I preety much agree with Juan's comment here. Still, nice pose and backside view. Congratulations!

[Doug Brown]

It's a terrific pose Jim! I agree with Juan's observations regarding sharpness.

[Aidan Briggs]

Wonderful pose, exposure, and BG. Ditto Juan

[Arthur Morris]

Love the wing position and pose but the face looks like mush. I was wondering if you got this on Toho....

[Stu Bowie]

Super flight angle, and like the posture. Exposure looks good, but have to agree regarding the sharpness.

Did you make this image at the Werribee sewage farm?

Artie,

I was a long way from Toho. This image was made in Australia.

Yes. I went there with my friend from Melborne and some people from the local camera club. I taught a class on photographing BIF at the camera club the night before and we went to Werribee the next day for a in the field class.
