This was captured the same day as my previous image. I got lucky, the mist lifted for an hour, and managed to get this one in better light. I don't know if it is the same bird, as we saw six WTE's that day, in different locations.

Great flight capture, William. Like the flat out stretched wings and the legs lowered. Beautiful looking raptor.

A nice landing frame William, nice exposure and details only wish we could see the fanned tail

Good capture Will. Sharp focus, good detail and I like the subtle bg. The extended wings and clear eye make the image.

Echo everyone's thoughts so far -- nice detail and wing position and I love the swept up feathers on the back. I'm wondering if the image could use a slight CCW rotation to level out the shoreline / mountain line in the back? TFS

This is nice. Good details and a nice top side view of this impressive raptor. Agree with Arash that the fanned tail would be the icing on the cake.

[William Dickson]

Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
