Wow....incredible shot...perfect timing...... I found bird on the right little distracting ....but excellent shot in every aspect!!

Very good display, Nikolay, an impressive wing span too.

I can live with the OOF birds, it sort of belongs in the story, but find the rocks in the foreground, since they are OOF and on my face, a bit distracting.

If you burred the background you need to redo on the bottom of his left wing, something odd going on there :) A little too much sharpening around the face a blurred wing tips right next to it.

Impressive bird and love the pose Excellent sharpness and exp This might be one of the few times I would like a slightly higher perspective to see the feet and make some room from the oof foreground rocks Wish the second bird was all in the image As presented high impact and like it a lot !!!!

[Daniel Cadieux]

I guess there is such a thing as being too low! :-) Like Al I wish the second bird was completely in the frame. I like the position of the wings...quite huge too!

[Stephen Stephen]

I love the wingstretch and exposure here. Nits already mentioned.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great action. Too bad the bird on the right is clipped and OOF. I would also prefer a higher angle.

[Josh Gahagan]

Great colors, killer pose. I wouldn't mind if the bird on the right side of the frame wasn't there.
