I must say that my appreciation for this type of shot has grown exponentially over the years (I'm a bird lover from way back). I only gave this a 6 in my naivete of the expertise it took to capture something so graceful. Today, it would have easily garnered a 10.

I'm very sorry to hear of demise; however, I'm sure that he has been appreciated the world over because of your essentially flawless capture. Congratulations on your achievement (and his) - I hope that it is some comfort in your grief. [213 favorites is certainly nothing to sneeze at!]

He'll live on through your love for both the subject and photography. Thank you for the privilege of sharing him with us.

I like the shapes and lines, but the tilt is a little distracting. Great lighting & tones though and I like the overall impact.
