Comment by Jammur:
Great bird shot, love the raptors. I think the demonstration of motion is hurt by the fact that there's no reference points in the frame. Also soaring isn't the most dramatic activity.

Great shot! I hate it when I have to use a high iso to get such a shot, don't you? One of my winners. 9

Comment by cardmaverick:
I see a lot of noise in this, I suggest something like neat image to deal with it, but you need to be careful with this type of subject, might loose detail in the feathers.

I really like how you cropped/framed this!
Noise is a little distracting, but not bad.

I like that you are shooting up under the goose, which suits the challenge. I do think it's cropped a bit tightly. I'd like to see more negative space and the bird not so centered in the shot.

IMHO, this could be cropped closer for more impact. I like the simplicity.

Not the best bird shot I have seen but the impact is awesome. 9

7 - Good shot. Criticism; whilst no 'expert' in the rule(s), I would like to have seen this using a stricter sense of the rules, especially for the Challenge. A tighter crop, or closer zoom, incorporating more (if possible) of the right of that rusted 'perch', more detail in the feathers, would have made this a better shot in my opinion. Like the colors and the background, just more definition on the bird, as you have in the 'perch'.

perhaps a closer crop to bring the bird's eye to the thirds focal point. nice clear shot of the bird
