No prey, so it does not qualify for the theme! I was still happy this adult RTH came circling by a couple of times before heading back off. The second pass was too close and I clipped the wings (it would have fit perfectly had I thought of flipping the camera to a vertical), but here on the first pass it was just at the right distance. I did need to move it back in the frame by adding canvas in front and re-cropping, but that is all fine with me.
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/2000s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, lightened some parts on the body and face (dodge tool), and removed an ugly and small loose piece of stringy debris from the talons.

Excellent IQ and nice full stretched wings and fanned tail, Daniel.

This is simply a very attractive angle Daniel. Great exposure as well. Very nice!

Daniel:
Very nice angle indeed, well exposed. Soft underwing lighting.
I could see a vertical crop as well because of the strong diagonal line of the wings.
Cheers

Nice flight pose with great spread wings and tail. Good detail on his rather bedraggled flight plumage.
