    Absolutely amazing pose. The head turn, fanned tail, full wingspread are all perfect.
    IQ is superb. The only thing that could improve this image ( for my taste) is more color variation in the sky or a wispy cloud to break up the blue.
    An incredible shot.TFS

    Hi Alan, a stunning shot really. These guys are incredibly fast. The only thing that you could have improved this image is to capture this pose in a more interesting Bg than blue sky, but this is really a very tough image to get as is. Loi
