A very lovely image, Chris. The eye and BG match beautifully and I love the chunky looking feet. :)

I love it!

Great pose--with the landing gear just coming down, adn the wings just right. And just the roght blur in the wings with the head and body sharp.

Great nature story, Chris. :shock: Love the angle of approach, the nesting material, pose, it all comes together on this one. :) Bravo!

Very cool shot! Love those feet -- they are so angular they remind me of something from a dragon movie.

Would have been a great shot even without the leaves. With them, it's even better!
