    Good wing up position and I like the look of the new green tail :w Was there a fish in with all that cot?

    I find the white on the very front of the head and the right foot a little hot.

    Also not a great fan of the background, but it is what it is.

    What I like best about this image is the unusual item in the talons...very cool. Light angle wasn't best but I still like the effect it gave you here. I think if you tone down the large brighter area that would improve the BG alot.

    Wonderful action, Bob! I love the lighting on the trailing mossy branch. I agree with the other comments, but it doesn't get much better than this. The light on the leading edge of the wings really adds to the sense of motion.

    Hi Bob,

    Nice one, I've seen them gather similar material but never quite on this scale. I agree with the previous comments and maybe would have used F4 instead of 6.3 to give a little more shutter speed.
    Regards
