Jeff- Beautiful action shot of these eget and I love how you captured the one as he goes into take off. The white of these gorgeous birds against the gree of the leaves is awesome. I love the pov and composition of the shot and how we get a feel for just how high up these birds are. The lighting and clarity of the picture is so perfect.
