There as a slight wind so we knew from which direction they would dive and that made it possible to shoot from the front. ### Specific Feedback Requested All feed-back is welcome ### Technical Details Is this a composite: No Nikon D850 with Sigma 150-600 C @ 230 mm, f/5.3 ISO 1000, 1/2500 sec ###### @johanlennartsson.se ---

Gorgeous image, Johan. I love the in-your-face angle and the detail and exposure are both excellent. ---

Love the idea, the composition, and the glare/those talons. Image quality is lacking a bit for me. ---
