Fantastic Sid. Awesome full wing extension and wide open talons. Feels like it could be improved by having a touch more of the perch in it. :)
Congrats on 1200 post as well!!!

You are right about the perch. I should have zoomed out a little more.

Thanks

Fantastic job in catching the moment! A closer in crop of this might work well too if you have the pixels. Quite dramatic.

brilliant capture this is. nice wing details and pose with the sharp perch make this beautiful. not sure bout the square crop as personally i dont like it and also a border. (my personal choice) may it look good to others.

Excellent landing shot Sid, love it as presented although I agree with not having a border.

Sid:

Nicely captured with great timing. I like the tail being cocked up to aid in the landing.

I do think a slightly looser crop with more perch would be interesting. I know you don't have it, but just from a composition standpoint, it might have been fun. I suspect this was shot in landscape orientation and then cropped to current shape?

Nicely done!

Very nice image buddy.
Love the talons and eye stare. This perch could go a little darker.

Sid I must make it to Blue Cypress this next season. This is a fine capture and I just love the talons as they are about to crasp the perch!! Great stuff!!

Randy,

Agree with you on more perch. Hopefully next year I will try to make one.
I shot this image in landscape orientation and cropped to current shape.

Thanks
