I like the pose Jimmy !!! No idea how you were able to track the bird with long glass!!!! 8) 8) 8)

Would consider using shadow/highlight around the black head area to show the eye better 8) Another exceptional capture!!!! Congrats !!!! 8)

Great shot James! I am a little confused though, is it supposed to be a vertical or a horizontal? It is showing as a vertical on my monitor. ------ Ligia

This freakin' rocks Jimmy. I got one sharp but no where near this good. The catchlight and position of wings and tail are superb.
