    Very nice capture Jody.

    There may be a dark spot in the lower rt corner which can be easily fixed. I only mentioned it as it took my attention away from the Falcon.

    Shot of a lifetime for sure.

    You do a great job with the combination of 400 f/5.6 and Bushhawk Jody. Another excellent photo!

    Just fantastic. I love the green background, the beautiful feather detail, and the sheen on the feathers. Fine work.

    My favorite of your series, Jody, even though the others had the action, the light and detail on this one over the top!

    Greetings from Newark airport :)

    Dramatic and stunningly sharp. Interesting color to the water. Was this a HORZ ORIG?

    What a stunning work of art, Jody!

    This has to rank as one of my all-time favorites.
