    Great image. Feather detail is superb. The only thing that could have made it better is if the other bird wasn't in behind. You are right about that sky - does it get any bluer than that?!

    That must be neat seeing them at that particular spot - and perhaps worth taking some wider scenes too to document that. I like the vertical presentation. Looks to me like the face is a tad less sharp than the neck and wing. I realize you like the sky here, and that is OK, but I do find the overall exposure dark...including the sky.
