    Wow... Wow... Wow... Best view ever of the epaulettes... And the rest ain't bad either... Just a magical canvas for me... Congrats and TFS

    ps
    looks like f8 is the super sweet spot for the longer end of that wonderful lens (at least in your hands)

    pps
    That tail...

    Excellent job on the black plumage. The epaulets have superior detail. Wonderful calling pose. In my neck of the woods, in the Pacific Northwest, the epaulets are definitely deeper in red tones.

    What a great pose. Love the open beak and tail feathers.

    I like the way you've got this fellow lined up to be just sitting on there transition line of the BG John. You caught him on full display--flared tail, cupped wings, puffed up chest, and full outcry. My one picky would be to wonder if there is more detail to be had in the blackness of his underwing------and if not then to think next time I get a go at these fellows to push it hard on the ETTR?
