    Looks fine and I love the dark green BKGR. And to think that I have told everyone that a 300 is too long for Homer :) I brought one a few years ago and never used it.

    Love the sharpness and the ready to catch action here. I might try to lighten the image a bit.

    Looks good to me, nicely sharp and I like the contrast between the dark brown and white feathers along with the rich gold of the beak and talons. Wish I were there with you!

    Love the action and the detail. I think the tight crop works well for this image. I'd try to lighten under the wings a bit to pull some of the detail out.

    Great capture.
