thanks for looking
your comments are appreciate

love the eye contact and full wing position. Wish for sharper claws, I would have cranked up the ISO to 400 for 1/1600 sec. feet are a bit washed out maybe it is recoverable from RAW.

yes you are right about the iso, but before i was taking a static picture and suddenly it arrived
by photoshop i'll try to change the color of the feet because the raw is not burn
thanks for the comments

Welcome to BPN Sandro. Arash's comments covered most points and could go a tad darker but thanks for sharing.

very good job Sandro!

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Sandro, super flying posture, looks like he's just taken off. I like the feather detail, and good HA too. I would maybe move him back to the right a little, and good job on your repost with the feet.

[Peter Wallack]

The body position is excellent. The wing shape is excellent. The feathering detail is more than wonderful.:) :) :)

Nice pose, and the repost is an improvement. I rarely photograph birds with ISOs lower than 400, even in good light conditions. This way when they unexpectedly move fast, which birds have been known to do;), I have a chance at succesfully capturing the moment with the added shutter speed. Add to that that your are photographing with a large focal lenght you should put all chances on your side when it comes to SS. Keep them coming, as this is still a beautiful photograph!!

Totally agree with Arash. Otherwise, I like the eye-contact, wing position and the dangling feet.
