    I like this one very much as well. Great feather detail, nice angle, and great light.

    Pretty darn nice flight photo! Excellent sharpness - the wings look great. I'd wouldn't mind seeing a bit more detail on the belly. Was the sky originally this shade of "mauve"?

    I like this image a lot, Ramon. Great detail, head angle, eye contact and background. Beautiful bird!

    Brilliant timing Ramon, with a great flying posture, good light, and nice and sharp. Your comp works perfectly too. Congrats.

    I like it Ramon. Agree with trying to bring out some detail under the belly.
    Some fill flash might have worked nicely.

    Hi all, I have tried bringing up some detail on the belly but it doesn't really make a big difference.
    Still, thanks for all your comments and suggestion, they are well recieved and aprecieted!

    This is another super image Ramon. Pin sharp with good feather detail. Nice flight angle and good eye contact.
    The sky seems to have a red cast on my screen, is this the correct sky colour?
