Love the top side view Jim, the light and dark sky add greatly to this one, IMO.

Good Shooting!

Thanks, Brian. The bg is actualy a distant mountain with some patches of snow.

Stunning Jim!! How do you think it would look as a vertical, less on the right, with a tad more room top and bottom. Just a thought.

I actualy tried that first, but ended up with this because I liked it better.

Jim:

Lovely colors here, great dorsal display, nicely exposed. Very effective BG. I agree about sharpening the eye selectively.

For me, this crop works well, I might even add a sliver at the bottom and right, since he is going that way.

Fantastic shot. Wonderful light, head turn, wing position, BG. Everything is wonderful here.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

beautiful pose,eye contact and wing position!

[arash_hazeghi]

Killer shot with eye contact, perfect exposure, tail white patch has been preserved well. A minor issue, I can see some color noise (very subtle red and cyan grain) in dark feather areas. Sharpness and pose is amazing. BG is great. Wonderful.

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Fantastic image. Agree that it looks just a bit noisy in the feathers and that something is just a bit off on the head. JR

[Jay Gould]

Jim, you really set the bar high for others to attain! Magnificent!!
