Jim,

Oh wow, you got him as he was banking into the light! Very nice wing position and detail. What I really like about this image is that you have full light on the face and the shadows from the near wing aren't in the way. A second sooner, and this might be a problem.

Well lit and finely detailed, excellent pose, couldn't ask for more!

[Loi Nguyen]

Great image of a Beautiful bird. I love it when the light shines the upper wings just right that give o much details. Tack sharp. Well done!

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Jim, excellent banking angle showing off the full wingspead and feather detail. Yes to being captured in good light, and this actually works against the sky BG.

[Barry Ekstrand]

Excellent shot of one of my favorites! Great light and pose.

[David Salem]

I dont see Caracars in flight to often so this is very cool. Nice banking pose and its great that we can see all the nice dorsal feathers. Techs look great and the bird is very sharp. Well done.

[Doug Brown]

You got a maximum pose and a great head angle. Looks like you had an awesome time the other day!

Classical exposure , the tail fan fully open makes it very special for any raptor image
love it

[Marina Scarr]

Love that pose and those fanned feathers. The slight head turn really bumps this one up.

[Raymond Lee]

Beautiful flight shot! Ideally, I wish the shadow just below cheek is reduced a bit

[dankearl]

Very cool flight pose with a nice head turn.
Sharp and nice IQ as usual.

Amazing detail on those wings Jim and a nice topside view. Head turn a plus
