Just playing with another toy from the camera bag today at the local pond with the local avian photographers.
Cropped from pano to portrait but had to add a bit of canvas above and below. (the original was a tight fit:D)
All comments welcome.

Stunning EG Dave!!! Love the banking pose with super detail and sharpness. Perfect HA too!
Heard LC is good at the moment. Will have to make a trip or 2 up there soon!

I like the banking angle, and great dorsal view Dave. Good job with the exposure on the upper wings, and love the colours in the BG. Well captured.

[Doug Brown]

Great wing position and head angle. Perfect exposure. I might crop a bit off the bottom.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very cool! Perfect banking pose, and I like the subtle blues on the wings' secondaries. Very well done Dave :-)

Banking pose makes this one,
I like the pose, BG, HA, colors and Comp.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

This is very cool! Great banking pose, sharpness, eye contact and exposure control. I like Doug's idea of cropping a bit off the bottom but like it as is.
