Hey-hey-hey---Watch it buddy!:) Very nice shot Ray. I think the wing position and stalled feathers make it very exciting. He might be a tad oversharpened and I'm not sure what the white areas are on the tail. A pass of blur on the BG I think would punch this up some. Ill have to read up on the workshop--I hadn't known of them.

I love this position for a Red Tail .. top side with a head turn, sweet.

Phantom of the Opera pose :) Great eye contact, EXP control and sweet BG.

Absolutely nailed Raymond. I really like the banking angle, sharpness spot on, and the overall feather detail is amazing. Its the head turn that puts this over the top. Very well captured.
