Ed, I love the wing spread and DOF. Looks like a bit of a sharpening halo around the bird.

Cute image. I saw a juvenile end up in the bay after a bad steal attempt. He looked around like he was thinking "I meant to do that." Then he took off with no problems at all. It would have been a great sequence but it was too far out into the bay.

This image seems a little tight in the frame. But since I tend to do that all the time, I like it.

This is a cool shot. Something tells me he doesn't like standing on ice, nothing to sink those talons into.

Very nice. The wing spread makes this special.
