Hi John,
An impressive shot of an equally impressive species.
Did you not post this same image very recently? I'm sure I remember seeing it not so long ago.

Hi John
A great composition but for me it looks a bit overprocessed. The eye looks a bit soft (probably because the focus point is nearer, somewhere around the middle of the wing) and I guess you have compensated with some strong USM.
I must be amazingly close to use a 300mm lens too.
cheers
Sean

Hi John
Nice shot of a difficult species, a tad tight in the frame for me but still very nice!

Nice shot.

Quite a different perspective, I like the way the wing takes you straight to the bird's eye, nice one.
Best wishes
