Nice wings position. Good exposure and nice detail. Good work for having him flying more at you than across..

Nice look at this Hawk Jefferson,
You handled the bright sunlight very well with good detail hand holding that 500 mm. :cool:

Excellent detail and a great flight pose, Jefferson. Looks like the light was pretty bright, but you still have adequate detail in the shadows for my taste.

Nice job on this flight shot Jefferson. Not sure how much more you tried lightening the shadows, but looks like you have the detail to maybe push it a bit more.

The light was not that bright, Dennis.
This was about half hour before sunset.

Kurt, I've tried to work a bit on the shadows.
