    I cant believe this is hand held with that much lens. Great job/technique! Really like how the wings almost touch the top and bottom of the frame. Excellent wing detail. Super photo.

    Nice shot Jim. I always love trying to get these guys flying for this exact reason, the beautiful feather pattern. The pose and the details look great and I like the graduated BG. Great work
