    Beyond spectacular. For me, just a bit more of a head turn would have been perfect but still one to love and be very proud of. SH, EXP, wing spread, and prey item all killer good.

    Manos, you must have been real close. Terrific wingspread here. I love these birds.

    Killer in every sense Manos, really enjoyed this one. I would try to adjust levels in the BG to made the hopooe to pop even more and would try to adjust the dark shadow in the right wing of the bird. Something like this...
