    Hi Harold, Exceeding sharp and a perfect EXP. Though the bird was high above you pushed the shutter button at the perfect moment. You missed a really big dust spot behind the bird.

    Hi Arnold,

    Not an easy bird to photograph but you did well with the exposure and composition. The sky is terrific!

    Nicely done, my friend. You need to go back on the saturation, though.
    It was nice sharing with you guys this morning :)

    Congratulations on a wonderful image of a bird that is hard to photograph! Very nice composition, and razor sharp. Great job on exposure. Well-done.
