Hi Joel - nice image. The feather detail is excellent and the background very intriguing with the hint of houses on the surrounding slopes.

Hi Joel never seen one of these birds before good flight shot.
Perhaps a little closer would have given a bit more detail, on my screen it is hard to see
detail round the eye, keep them comig

Very nice Joel. Love the detail in those outspread wings. Like it very much, although a smidge more room above the upper wing tip would benefit imho.

A fine flight shot. I would love to see a larger version of this.
