Excellent capture, Oscar. With plenty of negative space, in 3D, it would be flying out of the screen. :biggrin: :eek: :cool:

Nice in flight shot Oscar with a good diffused BKG, just watch the green colour cast in the chest whites, but easily corrected.

I agree with Steve about the colour cast on the chest, but that is easily sorted and the shot itself is great.

I,ve had another look at this and I dont think there is a cast .
There is a slight green reflection on the dark partof the belly off the vegetation below no doubt.
I have checked the whites on the other parts and they are all spot on. So don't make the mistake i did and start messing with colours too much else you may end up worse than when you started.If there was a colour cast it would be in all the whites !
Cheers

Excellent shot Oscar, very well composed, exposure spot on and sharp where it counts.
