Wow! Beautifully executed and I love the background.

Mike I like the pose on this bird and the head angle is good. The OOF background is quite noticeable compared to the snow but I wish that I had a Redtail image this nice.

tough call on bg...interested to what the pros have to say.
The wing/ body position is extremely nice, seeing top of one and underside of other

[Raymond Barlow]

nice one Mike., sweet light with the snow helping.

Really nice image. I'm torn on the BG. I think if the orange colors extended all the way through the right side of the frame it would be great. As is it is a bit distracting.

Wonderful flight image of the redtail . Love the flight pose and the determination in his face that you captured here. I very much like it as presented. thanks for sharing Mike.
