Superb light, feather detail and DOF. Shoreline and reflections suggest a touch of CW rotation. Love that red eye.

Kobus;

Tony hit the high points. I like the fact that although the wings overlap, their is enough difference in their lighting, that they remain distinct. The bird does seem to be angling away a touch, but overall, very nice! If you have it, I might give just a tiny touch more room on the right, so the feet don't feel crowded. Very minor point.

Cheers

Great light, wing position and details. Just a bit tight in the frame for my taste.

[Zenon Char]

WOW. Great capture. Ditto on the eye.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Fantastic light, maybe a bit tightly framed and HA a bit off, but just a bit. Excellent sharpness. :)

Many feel that the 100 - 400 mm is not sharp, they should see this photo Well Done. Groete
