Nico:

Very good dorsal display, well exposed, sharp.

Good choice to go vertical here.

I would prefer him all against the upper background. Could you have gotten any lower to accomplish that?

Cheers

Stunning shot. Had you considered adding a bit more sky above the bird?

[Nico Steenberg]

Thanks Randy and Bob for viewing and commenting. Its highly appreciated :S3:

Randy, unfortunately i was standing on top of the mountain and the usually fly just below us, also wish for a lower angle.

Here is a link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuxMvufnhkA&feature=player_embedded) to a video of the place were i took this photo. Not sure if its allowed to post a link ?

Bob i have consider it, but if i add some above the subject is going to to central in the frame IMO ?

As presented, I would greatly prefer this excellent image with a crop from the bottom so that the space above and below were equal. I like that the bird's head is above the line of demarcation. Bummer about the lost feather or two.

Nico, good banking angle to show the dorsal view, and I like the two tone BG. Well captured.

[Arno Ellmer]

Well captured ,Nico. Banking posture superb.All else has been said

Hey Nico, difficult birds to capture. The two tone BG works Ok but the bid plus is the birds pose, really enjoy the big wing spread :cheers::cheers:
