Very nice light and good sharpness. I really love birds of prey. What shutter speed did you use?

I like the angle, landing pose eye contact and setting and wish there were wing/beak separation.

beautiful image and love the low angle. I might clone out some of the spots around the bird. Is that grass from him taking off or landing? wonderful shot...

Great low angle for this flight pose!! I wouldn't mind a bit of more of a crop at bottom, but overall very cool image! I do wish the bill tip was not merging with dark line on the far wing.

One of my favorite birds of prey. We have a healthy population of Bonelli´s in Spain. The action is just killer and the low angle is terrific. I like the very intense look of the bird and the spreading of the tail´s feathers and taloons ready to land. I whish for no overlaping between the bird and wing. In my monitor it seems that the image is a bit on the warm side of the spectrum. Composition works. Very nice image :)

Lovely low angle and I really like the inclusion of the habitat. Image is slightly warm on my monitor?

a beautiful raptor image.
Have any more frames? A frame or so later may have raised the wings and extended the talons.
Thanks for sharing.

this is a quick "possible" correction for color cast......seems appropriate as catchlight is high in the eye
