I was at the right place at the right time and captured this image. I know I clipped the wing at the top, but this happened very quickly and I was lucky to get the image in the first place. Let me jnow what you think. I toned down the bright areas so as not to take attention away from the main subject. This is full frame.

The forum reaction to this shot amazes me! You've captured an incredible scene that couldn't be planned or anticipated, of a bird species that's more than a little skittish around people. I think this is a terrific shot, worthy of more comments from the regular visitors to this site. From the action (soft porn, tastefully done...) to the perch and background, this is a killer shot. Nice!

The clipped wing is very minor and does not distract from this awesome capture. Outstanding!
