Up Up and away

[Lance Peters]

Light wasn't the kindest - leading edges of the wings might look over - on the original they are around the 235-240 mark.

I like the capture, Mr. Peters,
your self assessment is right on the money...:D the whites look a tad warm, but they are within range at 230...it's OK. I like the crystal clear eye...I've never seen one of these guys in flight before, very nice...:cool:

Lance I got a ton of these birds from Cape St Mary's but not many I like? They are difficult to reproduce and might be the usual light encountered !! .... the underside doesn't look bad at all and I like the feather detail !!

[Oscar Zangroniz]

I like your capture Lance. As Al says feather details are good, and so is your blue sky. Very natural.
Regards,

You got the light right in your self-critique mate. A bit hard, but pose is good as is the comp in frame. :)
