    Nice action shot Frank. Love the open wings. Just wish their was more eye contact and that the tail was not obscured. Thanks for sharing

    I like the OP...but the repost is even better! Love the wingspread, colours, perch, BG. What is on top the perch, there seems to be something on there on the repost (meat?).

    Great action which you have got spot on, prefer the one without meat.

    Frank:

    I like the comp, shared color palette between bird and perch. Exposure in repost is better.

    Cheers

    Wow super image.

    The detail in the repost is fantastic.
    I'd like to know what processing you did.

    Very dynamic frame with great detail. You get better separation between bird and BG with the repost. I don't mind the lack of eye contact because the bird is focused on what it's doing.

    Awesome pose and comp. These wintery/snowy images make me wish we had some snow here. Love the warmth of the repost. Excellent image Frank.

    Hi Frank, killer landing pose, and just love the show of the full wingspread. The pose works very well against the smoother BG. Your repost is even better. Well done.
