Eagle Aerobatics II

Here's another one from the same day.  I've hesitated to post it as I don't consider it a particularly powerful image, but I continue to find it interesting because of the odd position of the right wing.  I never realized that they had that much control at that final joint.

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, hand held, f/8, 1/3200, iso 640, manual exposure.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped to an 8.9 MP 4x5 before resizing.  Taken at 7:53 AM at the same location as my last post.

Comments and critiques are appreciated.

Thanks,

The sharpness of this image is just amazing. I love the detail this provides. The tail feathers, as well as the wing position are very interesting. Nicely done.
