Beautiful shots, Dan. My favorite is also #3 - great eye contact and very sharp. I also like the "dive" shot very much. Thanks for sharing.

Real nice set Dan! I like 4 & 5 the best with dive coming in close to them. The flyby is another one I like.

A beautiful raptor, Dan, that you always seem to capture always very well. There must be a special bond between you two.

3, 5 and 6 my favorites.

Do you need F8 to get the whole bird in focus?

Nice collection, Dan. The TC must soften them a bit.

Deano,

These are pretty good and I appreciate that you managed to get closer. However, for your next challenge, I couldn't help but notice that this is a juvenile WTK and they are rather easy to get close to. Next time I want to see a close up shot of an adult WTK

Still, I'll give you extra credit on these for remembering Mr. Z

m's advice on the last set and give a nice little pat on the head for some fine captures
