I have no problem with what ever it is on the left. I think of it as a rock or something - - if that's the horizon line then the poor bird is diving or something & that does not make any logical sense to me.
Nice shot
Lil - - taking a break from her cleanup job after the firestorms - - so no picks... sorry
Doug: These images are more than just an example of detail. They really depict lots about the natural history of this bird. I especially like image #2. The image really shows how the bird uses the talons. Having studied birds for many years these images really intrigue me.
Great shot, details and comp and stuff
