June 19, 2011. Cloudy with on and off rain.
Canon EOS 7D | EF 400mm f/5.6L | 1/2000 sec., f/5.6, ISO 1600 @ 400mm, handheld

Thanks for all C&C!

Cheers,

I like the splash of orange color in a fairly monochromatic color palette. Good landing pose and great IQ considering your ISO was 1600 on a 7d!
Nice wing spread. Would have like a better head angle but that is a minor nit.

Thanks! I think the 7D still performs fairly well even at ISO 1600. I wouldn't hesitate to use it when needed.

Neat skiing pose, and I like how the top two primaries curl out of the head's way. I wouldn't mind more room above and right, and perhaps a bit less below. The whitest whites seem toasted as posted...perhaps a bit of recovery in raw conversion would help there.

Wonderful shot. Great timing and love the landing pose. Well done.
