Interesting timing on the wing positioning, Allen. These guys are always a real treat for me to watch. Even if I miss a few frames I get a kick out of watching their animated hunting antics. Just curious: was this full frame or cropped?

Wonderful wing position, Allen. Excellent detail and exposure. I wouldn’t change a thing on this one.

4

Really good light on this one. No nits from me.

Thank you for the comments…

Bill, this was cropped a bit.

6

Nice exposure and processing… I do with the head was separate from the wing… a very minor nit.

Great image, showing its typical behavior. Well-exposed and no nits from me. Maybe you could have kept the 2:3 ratio though? Other than that I like it as presented ! Cheers, Hans

Good to see this in the editors picks, Allen, well deserved.
