    I think that is pretty darn hard to top as far as raptor photography goes, not only for the wickedly awesome pose but for the stunning background and grasses to go with it!!

    Stunning. Full wing and tail spread, dorsal view, sharp as a tack. Can't beat it.

    Spectacular flight shot with very nice HA. Very nice wing position and tail feathers, BG and composition.
