    Everything looked good today for a trip to see my old mates at Harewood. Weather forecast was good, wind direction was good, no rush to get home - then got stuck in traffic for an hour! Still, got one I was happy with

    Hi Mike..Super pose and the detail looks good. Nice with that crop. I think when you get good light there is no better bird to photograph in flight, for getting a great pose.

    Well done

    Will

    Great pose and nice details. Very nice overall. Now just to get this with a nice varied background and it would be over the top. This is from a blind or birds that are fed right?

    This pose is fantastic, and you even managed the eye. Blue sky NG is fine as far as I am concerned. I doubt this is a maneuver would happen at eye level anyway. Exposure and details look great!

    New meaning to the Beatles tune for me now, "twist and shout" I'd be screamin with joy for this shot Mike, just tops all around. I love the prominent eye that captures me. Super, would love to shoot this bird!

    What a killer pose. My only suggestion would be to decrease the saturation of the blue in the sky .
    Otherwise, a killer shot,

    I just assume everyone knows these are fed, but yes I should have said - a few small scraps of meat were on offer

    cheers
