This was taken at Joe Overstreet yesterday as the caracaras and eagles as well as vultures were there for the cleanup.

I really like the wing position,composition and pose!
Nice work Judy!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great pose and eye contact. I might sharpen it a tad more.

[George DeCamp]

Judy, a superb catch in this position. I really like the wings, neat bird too!!

[Daniel Cadieux]

I'd crop the top to have the same amount of space above and right of the bird. Otherwise super image!!

[Len Maltese]

Great position, and you used a good crop. Very nice.

Another beauty Judy Lynn.

Terrific, Judy Lynn. I like this unusual angle. Bre and I will be at Joe Overstreet in the next day or two and you've got me really excited.

One can almost feel the wing beats here Judy - loads of impact and the grey sky makes for a pleasing back-drop. Great capture!!!

[Doug Brown]

I'd love to see one of these in person someday. I like the pose and the eye contact. I vote for a little more sharpening and cropping a little off of the top. Overall very nice though.

Hi Judy,

The composition works very well and the wings are very difficult to capture. Excellent image.
