Wow Gregg, this is remarkable. This shows such detail and love the way the colour of the bird almost blends in with the water. Fabulous action capture

Wonderful image, Gregg. Is this taken with the 100-400mm lens?

Great shot Eggz. You must be back to the wildlife area or your new studio has a lake. Great shot and the water coming off the feet are great. Colors, or lack thereof, are perfect.

Wonderful timing! Love the details. Always enjoy watching them lift and land. This angle really shows off his diverse colors and markings. Saved.

Fantastic shot Gregg. It's a shame about the left wing-tip but hey, it's a wonderful image all the same. You have caught the action so well and at just the right time.

What do you mean "this is full frame"? Don't tell me you have a full frame camera? gracious, what a wing spread. dramatic. Nice shot buddy.

Fantastic. They are so very beautiful and you captured the wing span beautifully. Usually when I see them like this I am driving by in my car and don't get to really enjoy the magnificence of take-off - now I can with your photo. Thank you.

Whoa, what a great shot! I get perfect shots too but only when I'm actively driving, and they're in the next county before I grab my camera... The detail and action are exceptional.
