Mital:

Great dorsal pose. Like that all the birds elements, feet, head, wings are in the clear and well seen.

Certainly a challenging bird to expose with the blacks and whites. Maybe a little warm on the shoulders, but this monitor tends to blow whites, so may be fine.


Comp works well for me.

Cheers

Excellent exposure and nice landing pose. I like that both feet are visible. I'd love to see one of these in person someday!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Excellent incoming pose, and I love the feet!! Good exposure and composition. The very first few primiaries of the lower wing kinda bug me though...I wish they were more "in place" and less dark like at the top wing.

Doug,

You are most welcome to my place in this time of the year when they do nesting. :) Pretty Bold they are.
