Nice capture.. a tad oversharpened. There are white halos arund the edges. Good job capturing it in flight.

Yup, you certainly used the LB to its full potential here Paul. That said I think you'd get a great underexposed shot here as well - spooky. Welcome to the LB gang.

Good detail for a non-macro. Very shiny eyes, I must say. I like the amount of detail vs. motion blur you captured.

Good sense of scale. They stand (or sit) in stark contrast to the towering trees.

Another image in which the author recognized a very private and candid moment. Using the natural setting to frame the subject, it conveys an impression of a comfortable couple reviewing their world. The very competant conversion to B&W is a technical plus over coming some minor issues with distracting background which might have been better treated with a more vague approach. Having said that, this would not have been as effective as a color image so the issue is mute. An excellant piece of photo journalism which should place well if not a ribbon contender. Well done.
