I was oh so happy when this guy showed up in my viewfinder as I was gathering some images of her. She seemed to like what she saw too ;) as this is just prior to my previous post of this pair :D
Of course I am disappointed by the clipped wing, though had it been possible to include it the composition might have suffered; I also had to lighten his left side (viewer's right) substantially since it was strongly shaded, in particular there is no catchlight and the eye is a bit dark due to the lighting angle (no chance to change that at Green Cay).
Love the action you captured here and the clipped wing does not botther me at all. Really like your thoughts Emil on this capture. It brought a smile to my face. Well done !
