    Nice atmosphere job Adian. Maybe a slice off the bottom ? No big deal. Last tme I did a bird of prey whilst young were being ringed it was a Goshawk. She was going absolutely potty. They say ringing doesn,t affect birds at all.

    Really nice photo, Adrian. Love the BG. It really drives home the point that nature doesn't always look like it does in the movies :) Sometimes it takes shape in the form of 80 floors of concrete, steel, and glass.

    Adrian:

    Well framed between the two tall buildings, great eye contact. Interesting story.

    A bit more dynamic wing position would have been icing on the cake.

    As mentioned, it is good to see the birds prospering despite mans invasion into their territory.

    Cheers

    I like everything about this image except for the bird being so centered. I would like the see the bird moved into the rhs of the frame. I would also crop from the bottom to get rid of the white stuff along the edge of the frame.
    Godd story here,

    Nice flyby image, Adrian. I like the head turn/eye contact and the cityscape background.

    I'm impressed with the focusing and tracking skills used here. DOD of field separates the bird from the scene...while clearly indicating a city environment. Well exposed. I tried a crop...but not sure you have enough pixels for it....

    I think I mentioned I liked this last time I saw it Adrian. I really like the urban feel to it, and knowing what type of conditions you must have been working in makes it all the more impressive
