Ahhh they got sooooo big and almost on their own Eileen! Was hoping the three would survive, how amazing is that! Now the shot, just stunning and the clarity is perfection! Love the pose and he does in fact look like he is bowing to you two great ladies! Beautiful shooting Eileen!

Well captured image. Nice lighting. Slightly oversharpened can just see a halo forming on the edges but apart from that cracking

So beautiful and graceful in this pose that you have captured. Excellent composition he is placed very nicely in the frame. The color and clarity is amazing with that gorgeous background. Very well done Eileen. Just gorgeous.

Sange takes a bow to Miss Eileen!
Ha! We were about to walk away when I saw him do this and said: Quick E! Get this! And you did!
Love the title, the pose, the lighting and superb clarity. You have finally become one with your Nikon!
I have taught you all I know and I have spent 5 months watching you shoot from auto to manual only now! You have done well! Tell Supergold I am NOT jealous... nope! PROUD and so humbled by your friendship. Who adores you???
Well done! *********************

Lol you do. These past five months, you showed me a world outside of auto. And I'm never going back. Thanks my friend.

I have to tell you the very first thing I noticed was the light on the underside of the wing. Truly brought out a lot of detail in the wing. Good focus.sharpness and clarity.
I too never really noticed the second one on the nest. I had to look for it.

Thanks so much Michael, glad the second one does not distract :)

Comment from susanlen
Such wonderful birds. Every time I see a photograph on FAR showing these birds I have to take a look. They fascinate me with their beautiful colours and feathery bits on the head and chest. I like your title since the bird does appears as though he is bowing. Very well framed with very good focus and natural colours too.

Really nice shot. Excellent focus. Subject has unusual and interesting stance. Do you have any pics of when they were younger?
