This is one of the most fascinating bird-shots I've ever seen! Big vote :-)

Fantastic adn original shot - hope you didn't sprain you neck on this one! While the shot is great , (IMHO) as-is it looks abit flat and slightly greenish to me. You might want to play with it just a bit in PS. I took a quick stab by at it by opening the levels and raising the black point to about 20, and using the grey tool (color balancing) on some of the grey feathers in the wings. I thight this made the shot stronger. Then again it could just be my monitor. Great work - thanks for sharing.

Look out below.! Quite a different perspective.

Guest		10-Apr-2006 12:18
Nice job Herb - do you use flash on these? The normally shadowed underside looks amazingly detailed and balanced.

Guest		10-Apr-2006 10:24
Great composition. I love the under wing patterns.

Karen Stuebing		10-Apr-2006 10:19
Like this view from underneath. I'd be kind of leery of pointing my camera up at it. :)

lou_rozensteins		10-Apr-2006 09:36
