Exposure control is outstanding, colours and BG are simply beautifull, light is unbeatable but what I have loved the most is the detail of the right under wing. Congratulations!
Sweet bird, light, and background with excellent sharpness. Lacking only a superb wing position.

Terrific image Jim, the BG is fantastic and the expoure control is superb. The light is sweet and the bird is rendered very well. I do like the wing position here and I think that the gliding adds a lot of calm to the mood of the scene (soft OOF BG and warm light of the evening). Once more time I have to agree with Ramon´s fine eye for small and subtle details and I agree with him about the feather pattern on the left underwing. Very nice
