Jim, stunning shot. Love the eye contact. Just felt a bit tight.

excellent banking and details James

[Colin Knight]

Really nice capture! My first thought was that it needs more room, but I'm kind of back and forth. It certainly looks oustanding as presented!

Beautiful flight with great eye contact and feather detail. EXP nailed and very pretty BG. TFS, Jim.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Can´t get any better IMO. Light, pose, detail, exppsure, BG, colors, species, comp, all is more than A+. Big congrats!

[Gen Benjamin]

Wow, great detail, beautiful light and wonderful eye contact. It does seem that a little more room to fly from and into would help but still a wonderful image.

Excellent shot Jim !!! Sent you a PM...;)

[Krijn Trimbos]

The pose makes this shot for me. Love the detail and HT. I like the BG but would try what this looks like with the black patch lightened a bit and with a bit more contrast in the bird.

Lovely James!! Composition and exposure are terrific!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Beautiful flight pose and I love the BG in this image. Excellent exposure and detail with beautiful eye contact. Well done.

You captured such a nice banking pose here and the exposure and detail is top class. Well done.
