    Hi Viv, great banking pose, and I like the concentrated stare in those eyes. Amazing how red their eyes become, when they are adults. Love the light and warm colours, and sharp where it counts.

    Where did capture this juvi?

    Nice pose and the eye is magic. Indeed interesting how the eyes turn red later on. It brings me good memories from your beautiful country. TFS.

    the pose and eye contact make this one for me. Are they white or yellow? they look like our WTKs which are white I wonder if the yellow is from the evening cast?

    Great pose, timed well and super eye contact, sorry, but I find the warmish tones a bit overly yellow on the bird and slightly less so on the left hand side sky

    Vivaldo - agree with the above comments - the banking pose and eye are great as is the light. Nicely done.

    TFS,

    Thanks for comments it's appreciated. Arash our are light brown. The colors were warm as it was late afternoon. I think that removing it completely would not be what I saw that afternoon, maybe slightly less but not completely.
