Great incoming pose with excellent wing position. The warm light is superb in this shot. TFS

Grace:

Excellent shooting angle, light quality, wing spread,eye.

THe bokeh of the bg above the bird, looks just a bit busy, might consider some tweaking with subtle blur, noise reduction, or one of the other options.

Nice comp.

Cheers

Excellent landing pose captured, Grace. Great timing in excellent light.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Neat wingspread and the light is very sweet. I'm with Randy on the BG, and I would come in from the bottom to just above the darker area that is extending along the bottom of the frame at right. Strong image though, love the wide leg spread.

[Richard Flack]

Awesome image Grace. We get these birds in South Africa and they are not always the easiest to capture. Well done. Agree with Randy and Daniel in terms of the BG. Otherwise really like this shot, especially the low angle and wide wingspread. TFS

[Grace Scalzo]

Thanks, Guys. How is this?

[Randy Stout]

Grace:

I find the bg much more soothing in the repost. Natural looking, but less distracting.

Cheers

The repost is excellent and addresses my only concern with the image.
The light and pose make for a super shot.
IQ excellent as well.
