    Taken in Sydney a few years ago. Re-worked on it although not much post processing but the basic and a slight crop for composition. No selective manipulation to the eye.

    I'd be happy to have this shot. Strong details on the right wing, and a beautiful blue sky.

    Wondeful pose. Love the killer eye, the outstretched tail and the talons.

    Nice image of a wonderful species, love those huge talons that are ready to pounce. Did you try the S/H tool on the birds left wing to bring out some detail? It could be more work then payoff.

    Ofer, your signature high IQ and perfect exposure. the light angle w.r.t bird is excellent. Loved the pose with the landing gear down.

    If mine, I'd have a tad more room on right...but that might be just personal preference.

    Nice and sharp, with a great pose. Good show of the extended legs and those talons. No need to do anything with these guys eyes.
