Thanks Michael,
yes the 1/3200 was clearly a case of bad judgement (I should have used manual exposure and limited it to
1/1600 or 1/2000 at f8). The bright sky tricked the Av mode into 'seeing the light' ;-) I had to tweak the
curves to adjust for the low exposure...

Excellen t pose and very good sharpness. I'm suprised that you can shoot at 1/3200 of second with such a long lens, even in bright conditions like this. I find myself having to shoot at much slower speeds most of the time, but then again, my locations are usually in tree covered areas.

Beautiful and sharp.

Nice image, may be you can remove the dark smudge in the left corner (under)?

Very nice ~ the wonder of flight. I like how you placed the bird on a limb at the bottom of the page. The lightly colored bird on the gray background looks free and weightless.
