Looks like you timed this shot perfectly. I like the full upward stretch. Your focus on the eye is a great strategy that has paid off. Nice color. Seems we might be tipping to starboard a touch, but not a major issue. Good shot!

Another great shot here willie. Good focus, contrast and use of light. The way you have captured the takeoff, the illumination of this fine birds face and the beautiful detail in its wings. Color tones are spot on too, thanks for sharing
