Managed to get some early morning light to help with the landing !!

Very nice work. The bird appears slightly too close to the top of the frame. Had you considered reducing the impact of the in-focus grass and terrain?

Lovely pose and great light indeed Craig. I dont' mind the space on top given it's a landing, and am also fine with the OOF FG as presented.

Craig, terrific wing and tail spread. loved the BG and FG blur. awesome details. At this size, a tighter crop will have more impact. If mine, I'd crop some from bottom and right.

Soo cool. I really like how he is positioned in a great design made by the bg and foreground lines and colors. Really nice.

[Craig Kerr]

Thanks for your comments - much appreciated.
Regarding the crop and OOF FG, am in two minds

Beautiful light and pose Craig. I might consider more of a pano crop by cropping some of the bottom of the frame. I really like this image. TFS
