Now I know what I missed. :)

Perfect wing position and great job considering the light conditions Manjesh. Very well done.

Hi Sid

Whenever these come for landing in the evening, you always get only the sidelighting to work with. They always follow the same path and land at the same place. Happens probably once or twice a day at Wakodahatchee.

Great flight shot. I think the wing pose is just perfect here. I like the warm light.

Nice capture Manjesh....I know the lighting was difficult...your patience has paid off

[RAM MALLYA]

lovely lighting and the eye contact of the bird captured

I like the incoming pose, and the water BG. Too bad about the shadow cast across the body but at least the face is well lit. Image could use some CW rotation and I wouldn't mind a bit more room left for this guy to fly into. Sharpness looks good as posted, and good job with the exposure.

The expression on his face is golden! He looks like he's about to bail on the landing and freak out! :D

I don't mind the shadows at all, and I think the exposure is pretty darn good here.
