Jim, Sweet capture! Just enought light on the SK's eye to make it. My only crit would be the gray sky, could you ask them to re-pose!!!

Love the spread on the BB Jim, did any SK feathers fly? Sweet action.
I love the gray/blue BG!!
You are the only other person I have ever heard using the old read off the mid toned greens trick. I use it all the time:)
BTW on the pre-MKIII bodies it was meter and add light, on the Nikons meter on 0 works great.

Great interaction, sharpness and exposure - like the banking posture on the BB. Would have liked slightly more colour in the BG but that's a personal preference.
I think it is a cracker, beautifully sharp and well exposed

Ah, Jim. I know you've been itching for this action. Congratulations. The wing spread on the RWBB is spectacular.
Very nice capture,
Love the dog fight, with great details...:D
Fantastic action Jim. Love the way the kite looks at you, totally ignoring the RWBB and the way on which the red eye-face of the kite compliments the red epaulettes of the Aegalius. My hat off:)
amaizing moment! hard shooting conditions.
Great action. The wings and tail spread on the RWBB are perfect at the angle you captured.
