    Kim:

    Good full down pose, and the angle in the frame shows the dorsal surface of one, and ventral of the other nicely, plus the breast shows well, with good separation of the head and bill from far wing. Well exposed.

    Thanks!

    Randy

    Beautiful bird and image. Love those patterns below the wing and as Randy mention, the separation of the head and bill. If this is not full frame, how much of a crop?:)

    Quite fabulous as noted by the two gentleman above. I love the great d-o-f that covers the whole bird nicely and the great sharpness.

    Very nice pose and love the color of the BG. Not a usual camera system you are using. Very well done.

    Beautiful inflight image here. Great details and exposure and the angle of flight also offers a nice head angle too. Thanks for sharing.

    I recently saw my first ever Whimbrel in Tanzania, this is a truly great image.

    Nice to see somebody using Olympus my first camera brand.
