Super cool timing Marc. That remaining feather by the tree a nice touch. The light quality is a bit harsh making it tough and see some sharpening halo's. Worth some TLC. Thanks for sharing this.

Looks like a cool bird, I like the wing position and calling pose. I wish for more eye contact and a less steep angle.

Thanks David
Appreciate the comments, I think the slight halo is from the S/H tool rather than the very minimal sharpening used?

Thanks Axel, she was quite high on that treetop.
