Pete, this is a wonderful & intimate capture of the moment of take-off. The viewer feels especially close to this majestic bird with that blur of the wing in the foreground...nice perspective. Good catch of the eye too..and the keen expression. The blue sky & irregular arrangement of small branches make a nice, natural background. Very nice capture...nice seeing you too :) MFC

WOW WILD. His wings look like they are touching your lens. NEAT!
