    Sony a9ii, 200-600mm
    1/10000 at f/7.1 ISO 2500
    I was shooting at ISO 1600 and accidentally hit my back wheel. It doesn't take much force to move it. This is an issue I keep having with the Sony since I use back focus.

    Top notch I think, could not get a better flight angle, great BG, PP looks good. Excellent bird photography.

    Kurt, I think you nailed this one man!

    Love the pose and flight angle. Great bkg color. Processed nicely.

    Interesting a touch of banding coming through on the opp primary feathers. One downside to mirrorless but a super minor nit considering a fantastic frame!

    Great incoming flight position and wing position is great.
    Whites just made it despite the upping of the ISO.
    I believe your SS was 1/1000 and not 1/10000?!
    I just wish the light had been a bit more to your right so that the green iridescence on the head was better seen- but that is a minor nit.
    I would love to have this in my files,
    Gail

    Strong frame, Kurt. His gaze sucks us right in. Excellent action, exposure, and details, and there's enough separation form the BG to make bird pop off the canvas. I'd like to see the shadows on the head raised a touch to get more green color and feather detail, if you have it.
