I like the sharp in focus body with the blurred in motion wings.

Comment by Ja-9:
what a beautiful shot...one question is the graininess on purpose (wing area) or is that due to cropping...mind you it does not effect your score...excellent composition...and a hard one to boot

Comment by Leo:
It's a nice capture of the bird in flight, but it's too "centered". It seems to have a bit of noise too.

This would almost certainly have ribboned in the animals in motion - and did pretty darn well here too.

Great capture Miles and good use of that camera.

It is an interesting observations that Deb makes. I saw the pixelation on one computer/monitor and not another...very strange stuff....

This is a GREAT image - the close crop, the head on flight, the kinetic feel, and the complementary colors of the bird and the background to emphasize the stealth-like qualities of this magnificant bird.
