Still trying my luck

to get a great bif which seems so difficult.

Although nowhere near perfect I like the lighting here and shadow here.

[Babs]

They look prettier in flight than they do on the ground don't they. Love the light on his wings

[Beverley]

It’s a great shot, lovely shadow and scenery

Lovely bif capture.

I see nothing wrong with this at all. You do a remarkable job catching them with their wings outspread.

Great timing and capture

Nice light on its wings.

Terrific capture

[Christine Sztukowski]

WOW wonderful neck and beak

[Allison Maltese]

This one is quite beautiful! It looks like your shutter speed was up high enough.

[Heather]

Diana, I think you are too hard on yourself! This is a fabulous bif shot! The light on the open wing (closer to us) is especially stunning! Fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good catch imho! That's a very interesting beak.

[Jane Pittenger]

Tricky exposure but well done

[Rick]

Looks really good. Just some exposure issues, as Jane mentions.

[Bill]

Tough to get detail when backlit. Nice detail on the wings.
