    Maybe just slightly past me, and his head a little off, but I liked the show of the full down stroke of the nearer wing. Taken early morning in Cape Town at the end of last year.

    Stuart:

    Agree on your comments about being past, and angling away, but the IQ is very nice, well exposed, sharp, great full power downstroke on wings. Nice feet!

    Nice in flight shot. Only nit would be the head angle is away from the viewer. I like the sharpness and details throughout.

    Wings position, light and sharpness are great.
