Well done Mr. Peters,
I like this as presented, the head angle and direct sharp eye contact is dead on, I like the spread wing pose, and the perch adds a nice touch to your subject...good show...:cool:

Good example Lance At time we can just slow down just enough to get parts moving, another good example is water splashing, having enough for the water not to look frozen and all else razor sharp !!!

Hi Lance, this capture looks really nice! The spread wing pose really makes this one for me. This seems like one situation where the subject feels right composed on the centerline and emphasizing the symmetry. It looks like you have a great opportunity to work with these guys. Thanks for sharing this one!

Really like this one, the head is sharp while the spread wings show a bit of motion. Give me a feeling of the bird is flapping its wing, really nice image.

Hmm...ok, techs covered. Composition-wise, I think the perch is a bit too much here. Personally I would like to see more of the bird.
