    Uitstekend! I love the "fingertips" here, Jan, as well as the fact that he is flying to the right. The eyes follow him and stop dead on his eye!

    Quite striking. Love the curled primaries and the rich colors. And the pano crop. Had the bird been lower in the sky it would have been even better.

    Lovely sharpness and detail on the plumage. I like the hint of clouds in the BG.

    thnks for comments I realize it was tight but unfortunately it was FULL FRAME on the 300mm lens.The only thing I could have done is to add some canvass .Can we do it on our images ?

    Select the BG colour the same as the BG in front or at the back of the bird. Then crop the whole picture, and grab the frame at its"handles and pull as much as you like until you have the sixe required. Enter, and you hav a larger canvass and minimum cloning to fix the/blens the BG colours.
