Terrific banking pose with good head angle and sharpness.
Wish it were mine ;)

[Robert O'Toole]

Awesome Robert, I really like this image. Thanks for sharing this.

The timing and the sharpness are superb.

The whites look like they might have a very very slight cast, maybe green?

Where's the antlers?! Wonderful very "light" pose.

[Juan Aragonés]

Terrific posture and very nice light. sharpness looks terrific. I like the effeect of the legs´s shadow in the right wing, it looks that your camera has a "X-Ray" mode because the sahdow resemble the bone structure of the wing ;-)

Beautifully timed & composed image.
Love the tail feathers.
