Again an astonishing shot, great focus on the head/eye and the right wing. Good details all over. Beautiful!

Terrific. Even his beady little eye is crystal clear. Great comp and balance of light on white.

I love the frozen moment of flight. The details in the wings are really cool.

What a good capture of a lovely display. the light through those wing feathers is beautiful. Love your composition.
Only thing I would try is a bit more sharpening. However, having said that I just looked at HarveyG's goose and was amazed how much better the full size image is over the dpc one. So perhaps the slight blur here is due to the re-sizing rather than the actual picture.

This is yet another great capture! That body and lens seems to work great together. I have the same set up, but have not used my MKII for a few months. Actually anxious to try that lens with the 1DX to see how it performs. There really are not birds around here yet, still early.
