Wonderful IQ on the image, details are fantastic
I love that eye looks clear inspite of the bird being big and in air
the dangling feet catch the eye, few streks of cloud in the sky make it more interesting to the eye.
Hi Mike, great incoming pose, and the angle shows off the underwing detail nicely. I feel the pano crop works nicely, and the hint of clouds do add to the sky BG.
Nice pose and excellent use of DE. It is easy to over-do it.
