Outstanding! Composition, exposure, focus, color; it's all spot on.

As an old sarge I once knew (all too rarely) used to say: "Ya done good."

BTW: Where did you get to shoot this?

Many thanks to all for your kind comments. It's nice to know that occasionally you can get it right.

Leon, I'd like to say I spent time in the field to get the shot. However I cheated and went to a local falconry centre where it is a good place to get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures and It's definitely on my list of places for a second visit.

Regards to all, Chris Manison

I agree with the previous posts - great capture. I have some minor complaints - I think it could be a tiny bit sharper and the lightning is a bit flat.
