W :eek: W Terry what a superb image. Wonderful detail in the black - not sure about that blue sky though, but easily adjusted!

WOW good image. I specially like the bird keeps his feet to his body. They give a nice contrats to the black body.
Also the blue sky helps to make the picture (imo) terrific.

very nice Terry, well captured. The blue sky looks a bit too blue to me, but otherwise great.

Superbly captured Terry. I agree with Matt that it looks a bit over saturated (of course it could just have been a beautiful day and we're not used to seeing it!).

Wow, fabulous flight shot of a bird not often seen.
Well done.
