    He was flying slightly away, but that doesn't bother me at all because that HA is killer! The techs looks great too!

    Great image all around here. :)

    Dale, spectacular. this kind of perfect head turn in flight shot is simply WOW. loved the crop a lot. I like the expsoure a lot too...but wondering if 1/3rd stop darker would look more dramatic. Well done and good luck in the contest.

    Great detail Dale, colour is spot on with a clean BG, HA just pushes it...

    Fraction less above, fraction more below?

    Bummer he is flying away from you, but yeah, you have the head turn. Nice down stroke and great exposure, light. The nice BG that matches the color of the bird puts it even better for me. Very nice one.

    Sharp with loverly BKGR. Even with the look back head angle I would have preferred having the bird flying slightly towards you....

    My ranch was pretty lousy... Jasper had a GREAT ranch, he may do well. Weather and overall conditions made things very difficult. I think I did well for the most part. We'll see soon. I'll check your blog out....
