Very nice flight capture - sharp all the way through. Exposure is great and the subject is extremely well lit.

Hi Fabs,
Lets see;
• good wing positions,
• good head angle,
• nesting material a plus,
• sharp and well exposed,
• effective composition,
all adds up to an excellent image in my opinion. Well done and thanks for sharing.

And that punch of orange on the feet really caught my eye after I stopped oohing and awwing over the wing position. Lovely image, Fabs!

Only thing missing is your poofy clouds. Nicely done tech wise and I like seeing her with the nest material.

Hi Fabs,
Excellent flight shot. Great wing position, good lighting (almost no shadows) and good path of flight. I wish the rings weren't there, but can understand why you let them in. Great shot!

Nice pose fabs, loved the light and details..
