I apologize if this image does not appear well, my video card died. I am working at low resolution and have no idea how it will appear to you. Comments and suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated, thanks,

Bill, no need for an apology, this looks great. There might be a slight cyan cast to it.

Love the wing position.

Edit: I just got home and checked it on my calibrated monitor and there's no cast from this one. It looks great.

Not only is the quality (techs) good, but the bird (wing) position is a knockout. Wonderful detail in the feathers and exposure on the money.
PS, you're forgiven. :)

This is really cool! That wing position and the stick he's carrying are what sets this apart. Oh and the fact that it's well composed and very sharp... great job!

Excellent timing and a very nice flight shot.

Thanks to all for your kind comments.

I sure miss the high-resolution of my monitor. I am glad that this post was well received since I can't see it in it's full resolution.

In the meantime, I enjoy seeing your works, each post serves as a reminder of how far I must go to get to your level of accomplishment.

Thanks for the encouragement, best regards,

Bill
