Nicolas:

Sharp,well exposed, dynamic. Talons look fearsome.
Wish I could see the other eye.

Was the bird baited?

stunning shot, well caught.

Good shot considering we all know what a challenge it is to get highlights right on a bright sunny day in the snow with a white subject as well. Just starting to get a bit hot around the left side of the eye but overall very good!

[Arthur Morris]

The whites look fine throughout and the timing was great with those ready to strike talons.

If this bird was baited please remember to include that fact each time that you post. Thank you sir.

Great action shot! Whites handled very well. Beautiful feather detail and wonderful yellow eye. In an ideal world he would be looking straight at us... :) Thanks for sharing.

[Nicolas Frève]

Yes, this bird was baited.

Thanks for your comments.:)
