Shame we don't have these beautiful birds here. They are certainly good looking. Here, there were a few of them hanging with the Ravens over a roadkill. Captured from the car window. Cropped and canvas added on left of frame.

I like to comp, wish the head was more defined. I bet it is in the RAW

Warming up yet ?

I like the comp here, Fabs, and the flight position is very unique. A little more definition in the blacks around the head would be nice, but all-in-all AWESOME!

Good catch, Peter, thanks, I did this in the laptop.
Taken in Wyoming, there's plenty of them there.

Awesome Shot! I love the markings on the wings and the pretty patterns and colors such a neat looking bird.

Pose, setting and BG look very good. I would sharpen the bird more.

Fabs, I like the diving angle, and flying just above the foliage. Good exposure on the blacks, and I like the BG too.
