Charlie
I liked you previous post of the white-tailed kites, but I must admit I like this one better even though it only has one of the birds. I like the spread of the wings and how well it shows the dark wrist spot, the background, perch and the rodent in the talons. This just feels very nice to me.
Well done.

It looks like you're getting a lot closer, Charlie. This is a beautiful composition. On this screen, some of the whites look like they might be blown, but that's pretty minor in a shot like this.

I love this photograph. The outstretched wings and looking right into the camera is awesome. The comp with the tree really gives a good balance to the image, and the background is a nice blur. Awesome!

Beauty Charlie!
On my monitor there appears to be a bit of a blueish cast but since no one else has commented on that I think I'll recheck my calibration.

Sweet! I really like this comp too. The perch tree and the bird's pose work well as does the BG.

This is just super Charlie. Eye grabbing pose, prey, a wonderful perch and stunning composition. I do mean stunning. I swore I'd never set foot in your state again but... Quit tempting me.
