    Great dorsal view Jim, and you have timed the capture perfectly to get the eye contact and HA. Tack sharp with oodles of detail, and the open beak puts the cherry on top.

    Jim, spectacular shot. Dorsal views always have more impact...and you also got the open bill as well. Excellent head turn letting the sun hit it square. Perfect techs. Thx for sharing.
