Wonderful shot John! Wingspreads appear to be something of a current theme here in the Avian gallery :^)

Wonderful hover shot, I like how the tail and wings are spread out, way to go.

Hey John,
Love the added bonus of nesting material and the wingspread is VG too!

John,
Nice dynamic wing pose and good exposure on the whites. The grass in the claws is a bonus. Nice capture for sure.

Nice John. Love the falling grass. Transparent tail feathers are great too.

Wonderful pose, the wing span and the intense look of the eye really makes this one for me.

Sorry, I don't know how I missed this earlier, John. Very nice wingspread you have captured. I like the pose with it looking down. Very nice detail, great image, John.
