Today I was trying to catch this one on flight, but it was quite difficult, so this is the best I could shot...

Hi Jose - cool looking bird, Love the low angle, exposure looks good as does the HA and eye contact.
Feels a little tight LHS and bottom due to the wing position, can see why you cropped it this way with the OOF foreground. Good show.

Keep them coming :)

A very nice capture indeed Jose,
I too agree on giving your little guy more room for the wing on the bottom and to the left side of the frame...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
