Best in flight ssp I've ever seen.

Beautiful light, wing spread, isolation and great exposure sharpness.

Definitely jealous.

[Herb Houghton]

Jim, This is a fine exposure on this one. I love the warm light and full spread.

Outstanding photo - the bird looks as if it's lit from the inside!

I'm just taken back by the sharpness of your pictures - could you take us through the sharpening process of this image?

super pose and light, love the bank pose, I wish this was in my own flies :D

would just try to reduce the noise on the feathers if possible.

[Dan Brown]

Super capture James! Love the dorsal view, they are usually flying flattened!

[Bob Pelkey]

Remarkable image which I've met with failure countless times.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Ditto Arash about the noise, but man-o-man what a beauty! Colours and pose are breathtaking.

[Ofer Levy]

Stunning light and pose. Looks like it is a far bigger crop than your top quality standards though...:w3

[Lorant Voros]

Stunning image. Perfect pose, beautiful light and detail. I imagine you handhold your camera for these shots, right? Amazing work, James.

[Todd Frost]

Beautiful banking pose James. Techs are spot on as usuall. Good composition as well.

James, You are beginning to depress me. I am considering selling all of my gear and trying to get a job with IBM like my new friends Bruce and Joel. Please stop.
