I really like the in habitat feel to this one Jeroen. The flapping wings gives the image a nice feeling of activity.

You've captured a very nice pose, Jeroen. The snowy grassland really adds to the appeal.

Hey Jeroen

Knowing your work Jeroen I don't think that this image is up to your usual standard. It is a decent enough image, don't get me wrong, but it is not one of your best.

Cheers

Andy
