This was doing great 7.9, when I realized my error in processing, and asked for it to be DQ'd. Oh well, should pay better attention to the rules. Thanks to all for the votes and comments....

Sorry about the mistake - I've made a couple myself lately! This is a fantastic shot - you got a 10 & a Fave from me! Keep up the great work!

Dang, what a pity. I will confess I was wondering what lens you had that produced symmetrical vignetting on a square image. Even entertained the thought you might have shot it on a Hasselblad with a digital back :-)

Awesome capture, regardless.

I was wondering what happened to this one - sorry about the DQ but it is still one helluva great shot!

Too bad about the DQ, this shot is incredible.

Outstanding in-motion capture - dead-on perfect ofcus on the eye/beak. Lovely color and texture of the background as well, and a jolly nice job of work for basic editing! A capture you can be very well pleased with. (Commenting drive-by only.)

Great capture these guys can be so frustrating to shoot. Well done

Brilliant flight capture with perfect focus. I love the way the background colour harmonizes with the subject. 10

Great catch. I love the positioning of the wings here. Technically perfect. 7.

All I can say is I wish I had taken this photo.

Amazing to get such clarity in flight - really excellent work.
11/20/2009 11:12:42 PM
A tough capture with the motion and the shallow DoF...but you really nailed the focus. Wonderful detail in the face...well done!

This is simply an awesome shot.
Beautiful.

this is a stunning capture. you were either 1. very lucky to being the right place at the right time. 2. very patient and spent a lot of time setting this up. OR 3. know the right people to help set this up. in any case it is one of the best in flight photos I have ever seen. wow a very well deserved 10. would love to see a "how I got the shot" tutorial.

Stunning capture! nicely cropped too giving a good feel of depth and surrounding.

Now THAT is superb. I know how hard this is to capture. I cannot fault this, except perhaps his leather leg strap(s) being visible, but will revisit my score and comment toward the end of voting.
