Greg,

Beautiful shot. I like the motion implied by the blurred wing.

Great shot Greg !

Seems weird to see you say photos with the MKII taken a couple of weeks ago ! Seems like they took forever to get here & now the lucky owners have weeks of pictures already !

Thanks for sharing.

Awesome shot Greg, I love the wing motion and stunned by how clean the image is at iso 640. Keep them coming, marvelous shot.

A stunning shot. I don't think it will take long for me to look at a shot and immediately think "must have been taken with a 1D MKII."

FANTASTIC. Love the wings up for balance. They are eye riveting and the bird is colorful, sharp and with great energy.
