Great, great picture! The exposure is great, nice light and sharpness, great pose and lovely background!

[PhilCook]

Wonderful eye level picture and from the car window, nice exposure on the whites and the wing flap adding life and interest to the image....good score Robert !

[Frank Schauf]

Nice composition and excellent expsoure control and sharpness, Robert.

[Nick Palmieri]

Nice capture on this little guy. Love the BG. Exposure and sharpness look good. TFS

[Karl Egressy]

Great stretching pose, low shooting angle and nice head turn Robert.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Perfect exposure, comp, bg and details. Light is gorgeous, and the pose + eye contact take this over the top. Very nicely done, Robert.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Neat pose as it stretches its wings before taking off. Great background, techs look perfect, and good comp. I do wish the feet were less camouflaged in the ground, but all around strong image.

Nice to have you posting again, Robert, I always look forward to your images and this is another very nice photo.
Hard to get a wingshot of them, they usually just stand, walk and suddenly take off.

Nice bird, bg and light, even though is a bit harsh. I would tone down the dirt and would try to lower the light on whites.
