    Excellent shots on both Turns, and as said, perfect detail in feathers.
    I would have to say I am more impressed with the detail you got from second shot. Amazing work, as it is shadowed against that sky.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    I'm really liking the second one also. Great catch Turns...they are so fun to watch soar....I remember from my times on the Island.

    Amazing shots! I love 'em both. That second one must have been flying over a reflector! Of course, if you were on top of a mountain (I'd love to see the pano shot you took ) then maybe the ground was white and reflective?
