    Best in flight ssp I've ever seen.

    Beautiful light, wing spread, isolation and great exposure sharpness.

    Definitely jealous.

    Jim, This is a fine exposure on this one. I love the warm light and full spread.

    Outstanding photo - the bird looks as if it's lit from the inside!

    I'm just taken back by the sharpness of your pictures - could you take us through the sharpening process of this image?

    Ditto Arash about the noise, but man-o-man what a beauty! Colours and pose are breathtaking.

    Stunning light and pose. Looks like it is a far bigger crop than your top quality standards though...

    Stunning image. Perfect pose, beautiful light and detail. I imagine you handhold your camera for these shots, right? Amazing work, James.
