    The head angle police will get you on this one:) The image looks a little rough, is it a big crop?

    Good timing. Not sure about the whites. Image quality is very poor with noise in the BKGR and almost no feather detail on the bird. Was this indeed a huge crop?

    ps: best to capture these when the bird is angling toward you rather than away from you.

    Hi Ken

    Nice flight shot. Looks like a big crop, causing it have lot of noise. Shooting wide open at 2.8 and also ISO 500, not helping either with the noise. Not much details in the highlights, as they appear hot(white on the body and pink legs).
