    Fantastic wingspan with great background. Details and exposure are right on. You seem to be enjoying your new toy :)

    just beautiful Loukie.....wonderful exposure and sharpening on bird seems perfect.
    A wee bit of oversharpening in the foliage IMO

    a powerful image, thanks for sharing it

    For me this image represents the reason I am a BPN member. It is absolutely stunning and a joy to look at.

    Superb wing position, light, and BKGR. I wish only for a slightly better head angle.

    Artie, when he/she landed it had only one thought in mind that was to stay on the cliff side, noways turning the head to look around who's watching.Regards

    Truly stunning, yes a turn of the head would be better ,but you have to make the most of what you are given and you have certainly done that!

    Beautiful image... You really do get the sense he's hanging on by his toe nails! Lovely light and detail in the wings.
