[Rick Moran]

At The Everglades. D2X w 600/4. f5.6@1/1600 sec, iso 200, EC 0.
Thanks for looking, Rick

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

This is beautiful.

Great dandling talons. I might be tempted to lighten the eye a little and crop a bit from top. IMO

[Bruce Enns]

I agree with Juan's comments here...beautiful shot.

Cheers!
Bruce

Great action and clarity on this. The only issue is the shadow on the eye, but it is a pretty strong image even with that.

Rick, only wish for a little more head turn and just a tad of sharpening on the head. Other than that a very nice image. Congrats.

Fine shot Rick. Be nice to brighten the eye a tad, but do like that pose and wing position. Nice one.

[Dave Barnes]

I like the wing position and the detail captured.
Ditto on a small crop above the bird and the dark eye, but would love to have it in my gallery any day.

[Ramon M. Casares]

I a not creazy of the wing position, and the sun seemed to have been up in the sky with some clouds over it (correct me please if I am wrong)
I like the feet, and detail though.
Congratulations!

[Morkel Erasmus]

love the flat angle of the shot towards the bird. crop a bit square, I would add some more space in front. sharp shot!
