Stuart:

Nice full up wing position,well exposed, sharp, like dangling feet and the talon showing so clearly.

Nice background too.

The bird is angling away from us a bit.

Cheers

Stuart, Really nice flight pose and I like the sharpness. BG is pleasing. I agree w/ Randy the feet dangling are nice!

[Tony Whitehead]

Nice exposure and feather detail, Stuart. Wondering re a slightly warmer colour temp to emphasise the warmer tones a little more.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Very simple and well executed image.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Sharpness, wing position, BG and look-back pose look good. Do you have one in this series before the bird passed you?

[Hendri Venter]

No nits from me Stu. Al in all a very good in flight image. I like the full up wings and your exposure on the whites are spot on.

[Stu Bowie]

Thank you all for the kind words.

Axel, unfortunately, this was a one off shot. I was a bit late to spot him, thus him flying just past me.

You need to sharpen you skills bro, getting old aye? ;) Beside the fact it is slightly flying past you, the techs are great! Looks like yours are about to breed by the orange patch developing on its head. Congrats! :)
