Great light and underwing details. I only wish for a bit more eye contact.

[Aidan Briggs]

Nice pose and wing position. Ditto what Axel said.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I also wish for more visible yes, but the light and wingspread are top notch. I like the OOF trees. Ratty individual though!

[Stu Bowie]

Lovely detail on those underwings, and more eye contact would have put this over the top.

[david cramer]

Beautiful landing shot. Agree about the eye contact.

[John Ippolito]

Thanks everyone for your comments, and I have to agree that good eye contact would have been most desireable.

I would imagine that in hi_res the eyes should be more visible, so that is not a nit IMO here, love the pose, ligt and BG. Congratulations!
