    Marc,
    To my mind there is something wrong here, probably in the conversion to JPEG. There are what seem to be some jagged edges and loss of detail in the feathers, the file is only 80 kb's.

    Cheers

    Ken

    seems that high compression made the lost of image and added Posterization effect.
    looks like fantastic flight capture.

    just need post-processing done properly and this can go on top.

    Agree with above posts Marc. A large area of brown in the near wing is lacking in detail. Otherwise an excellent shot!
