Standing as still and close (60') as I could get out at the hatchery this guy didn't notice me coming in for a landing next to his partner. My, what big feet we have.

Sharpness and landing gear look good. I wish for a better light angle and the near wing higher up.

[Geoff Malosh]

The pose and the detail on the feet are very good, but the light on the rest of the bird is not ideal. It's too bad the far wing, at least, wasn't fully exposed to the sun. Good sharp capture of a bird in motion, though.

[Sid Garige]

Excellent pose and perfect timing. Wish there was better light.
