Wow! Awesome looking bird and I love the pose in the first one. Looks like he's balancing on a highwire or something. These are both nice, sharp photos but the BG let you down a bit on the second one, a little color would have helped.

Wow these are great shots ! Couple of the best I have ever seen. Don't tell me you shot these with your 75-300mm ???? That is some excellent and creamy bokeh
