Thumb-up Thumb-up    from farradhim/Jacline (43,542) This user is a Premium Member Send mail to this user on November 23, 2011 3:50:11 PM CST (1)

birds in flight always amaze me and when I see an action shot like this one of yours, I am awed...great details in the birds, maybe some light lacking on them, adding some selective contrast would help.....

overall great image!

EDIT: what is that brown spot on the upper part of the left side border?

Thanks for the nod of approval and good suggestion. I thought the BG was uniform enough to be able to use the magic tool, but I missed that that little blob - thanks! John.

interesting shot, almost like the birds shadow, this shot is a bit dark too, and a bit of selective sharpening, but overall a fine photo.

Thanks, Sebastian. Interesting point, and apposite that we make a verb of that word "shadow" - particularly up at this Hokkaido site where the crows are so prolific!

Thanks, dear Joyia. I was wondering if this shot might have been better without the crow in there? There are so many of them in Japan, and they are clever and fearless, often giving these eagles a hard time AND spoiling a photo opportunity! Glad you like this. Best regards, John.
