Awesome shot - light, subjects, action, perch, BG all great. Maybe a smidge tight & centered for my personal taste, but I’d be thrilled with this shot

Des, A captivating image. Like that the colors throughout the image are complementary, Could see a bit more breathing room?

Thanks, guys. The hide/blind was designed for anyone with a relatively short lens to get a full-frame shot. When the buzzard is at rest, it's just right but when it spreads its wings, it can be a bit tight.

Excellent capture Des.  Agreeing about the room, but thrilling image by anyones measure.  Is that a Stock Dove as well?  (don't see many).
Make your life spectacular!

It's just a common Wood Pigeon, David.

Great capture of this behavior, probably one of those moments that you wish for a zoom lens.
