    Dudley, beautiful bird, great pose frozen(loved that wing and tail spread) and excellent shooting angle. Exposure also looks fine.

    I can see some evidence of the canvas extension....this is a hard one to extend. If you clean up that evidence by some cloning, it would look nice. If mine, I'd crop from a bit from the right.

    I am thinking the camera did not track fast enough as the grasses behind the bird seem a bit sharper. Still, an awesome shot. Well done.

    Good landing pose Dudley, especially seeing the full wingspread. In a perfect world, to have captured this a frame earlier, that he is against the distant mountain BG would have been even better. I agree with KD that the evidence of extending the canvas is visible.

    Lovely landing image captured! Like the detail and action. Ditto on the evidence of expansion that is visible.

    Like the wing pose too. Well done!

    Great wing and tail spread and the bird is well positioned in the frame.

    Great sharp detail. Like the incoming pose. Subject is well exposed with good natural colours against a killer bg. Well done !
