I cannot believe the high caliber of the images posted in the last 24 hours. Almost intimidating to post!!:S3:

A nice, sharp dorsal view of a bird in heavy molt. I am slightly bothered by the juxtaposition of the bird and the BKGR (esp. the trees right below the subject).

Gail, I feel you have done well with this capture. First of all, it is tack sharp and you have a super head turn. I am okay with the trees. It's an environmental shot. The bird with its plumage isn't beautiful, but it fits well with the overall scene.

Hi Gail, good DOF from wing tip to wing tip, and the banking angle shows off the dorsal view nicely. Good eye contact, and you have nailed the sharpness. Im fine with foliage mixed with sky BG's.

Great angle of capture, Gail !! Eye so clear. Like BG . Total impression is of a bird in nature not always evident but here done with elegance.
Best regards
