Pieter:

Love the orange legs/feet tucked in. Well exposed. Do wish there wasn't a shadow across the face/eye.
Comp good.

Cheers

Love these birds! Agree with Randy about the shadow on the face, and would add that I'd like to see a bit more sharpening.

Good inflight posture Pieter, and well done on getting this fast flyer in your frame. A place I still need to visit.

Wow ! You almost nailed it !! Wish the shadow was not there !!

[Pieter de Waal]

Thanks all for your feedback, much appreciated.

The shadow is a bother and these raptors appear to have deep set eyes which are also an added problem.

Doug will try a little more sharpening, something I still seem to have a little difficulty with.

Cheers.
