This is crazy!!! Love it! Light, pose, MOMENT, exposure, detail all is great, maybe there are some hot whites that could be recovered, but as presented is very strong! Congrats!

[SeanKP]

Awesome timing. Agree with everything Ramon said.

Cheers.

Amazing timing, Jim. Talk about capturing the moment. Nicely done!

[Jim Fenton]

Pushing the luminousity high end perhaps...but not blown according to CS3 on my end?

[Daniel Cadieux]

Now this is a high impact photograph!! Love the feet, the wing position, the all-important catchlight. Talk about timing too :-)

[Tony Whitehead]

Great timing, Jim. Love it.

Great capture Jim. The whites seems OK in my computer screen. The action is fantastic Jim and I love the fact that is posible to see the habitat of the bird in the BG. I suggest to tone down a little bit the water and sand in order to made the bird pop up from the BG. Very nice image
