chris we have total winner here. what a moment freezed. reflection over the wing is bonus and the expo is just bang on. a very thin glow around the white actually adds lot for me.
Excellent action shot. The exposure here is excellent. Loved the wingspread
What a shot...The light on the wings is terrific and the exposure on the whites is spot on.
chris i could not able to stop myself coming here again and post. my personal wish though to see this frame in double or more large size if you can.
Super image Chris. However, the glow Mital spoke about, is something I find unnatural and distracting. Was it created by blurring the BG? Also, the top wings left feather tip seems to have been blurred too. Other than that, I love the pose and light. Also wish for a slightly better head angle. I like the vertical crop.
beautiful wing position,pose...warm colors!
Beautiful.......a bit more room on the left and in my wildest dreams, a bit more of a head turn....but it's wonderful just the way it is.
Excellent banking angle Chris, and just love the full show of the wings. I like the waters reflection cast on the underwing, and overall, this is tack sharp. Great capture.
Fabulous shot ,Lovely light, details & pose. why not a Horizontal compo, even I would love to see a bigger image
Beautiful details and fantastic colors. Only wish it were mine.Love everything about it.
Another stunner!!
Great "Van Rooyen" light enhanced by the water reflecting it up to the wings. Gorgeous bird very well captured.
Fabulous shot with great details and wonderful light on the subject.
that's a stunner for sure, one of the best wing spreads i've seen in a while, great light, top shot!
Stunning image. Love the wing spread, the light, the water reflected on the bird. Nice one, master.
Chris, I can't add too much as everything has been said, but I particularly like the reflection on the wing. Beauty of a shot.
One of the best wing-spreads I have ever seen. Just wonderful Chris....not that we expect anything less from you....
I really like this very much - would look great printed on canvas..
Certainly made great use of the light. I really like the way you have captured all the detail in an action shot. Lovely pose as well. Dave
Awesome image, no nits.

Thanks guys, I'm overwhelmed by the response! Mark I have indeed been a bit sloppy with my layer mask (I should not process images late at night!) , trust you to pick up on that:-)
Chris the pose and exposure are too good!! Love the BG and exceptional underwing detail. Slightly beter eye contact or a different flightpath would have made this even better IMHO. Thanks for showing this awesome capture

This one is simply uotstanding and just over the top IMO, although in a perfect world the bird would've given you a tad better HA I still think this is amazing! Congratulaitons!
Inspirational image.
Another outstanding image, Chris. This one tops your Roberts cover painting :)
Stunning Image Chris.....
