hand-holding that beast is not an easy feat...well done on the pose and sharpness (although it looks like the eye is slightly blurred).

It looks like there is a green/cyan cast on the bird, some colour correction will sort it out quick-quick

Thanks Morkel

Love the in-bound shot, Myer !

Which camera body were you using ?

That's excellent sharpness at 1/640 !

I agree with the color correction comment; to my eye the sky has a slight purplish cast.

And congrats on hand-holding the 200-400 VR. That's the only way I use it. :)

Bill
I was using the Nikon D300s with MB D-10
here is the photo with color correction I hope it is better I cannot see the purplish cast on my laptop screen :confused:

[Bill Jobes]

I think it's much better, Myer.

The sky now looks to be appropriately gray.

Very nice landing pose, repost has better colors, BTW I would have opened up the aperture for more shutter speed. TFS

Great flight shot with wonderful wing pose and great sharpness. I like it that the next is visible.
