Absolutely amazing pose. The head turn, fanned tail, full wingspread are all perfect.
IQ is superb. The only thing that could improve this image ( for my taste) is more color variation in the sky or a wispy cloud to break up the blue.
An incredible shot.TFS

Super deluxe! I know these will buzz owl decoys too...is that what's going on here? How close to out of camera is the composition?

[Loi Nguyen]

Hi Alan, a stunning shot really. These guys are incredibly fast. The only thing that you could have improved this image is to capture this pose in a more interesting Bg than blue sky, but this is really a very tough image to get as is. Loi
