Hi Bert ... I sure do !!!!!

Sharp, clean bg and coming at you !! I'm glad your taking advantage of the noise performance of your camera !!! About all you can ask if for wings fully open but love this pose !! ... excellent placement within the frame !!!

[Bill Foxworthy]

A fine bird image Bert, well done. :)

[Gail Spitler]

Great to get a bird coming at you so tack sharp - very dramatic. In fact for me, everything on the bird is so sharp that the oof parts of the left wing seem to stand out more than I'd like.
Love the muscles at the shoulders.
Cheers

Great pose, eye contact, and sharpness. IMO it looks the whites were overexposed and then darkened, as it is there are still some patches with no detail. The action and timing are excellent.

[Paul Lagasi]

Looking right at you, tail flared and wings partially open..make this a winner..TFS

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Wow this is a beauty and I love the flight action coming right at you. Excellent detail and spot on exposure. Fine work !!!

[Markus Jais]

Bert:

Overall very pleasing, with the points that Aidan made about the whites evident on my monitor as well.
The angle of the light helped here compared with some of your previous shots.
Nice BG.

Cheers
