Great image! However, I'm a bit intrigued/confused. This is a truly exceptional image of a magnificent bird in flight. Indeed, one of the best of a bird itself I've ever seen. So, why add the different background? Maybe I'm a bit of a purist, but I personally would prefer such photo's to be shown with the bird in its natural environment. As an image, it's truly dramatic and does indeed precisely meet the criteria of what this site is all about - if it looks good, who cares how it was done... Essentially, love the image, but any chance you could upload the 'au natural' photo as well?
The Nikon is doing its job Count. I am surprised you could get a full screen shot with the 140mm lens. If you cropped heavily, it's not showing the effect.
