Fight for his right....

Super image! Very nicely framed and PP

Thank you, Erik.

I try to compose "in camera", but due to the distance and "only" a 400mm, I had to crop a little, though not much. Otherwise the usual contrast, clarity, vibrance and sharpening. I get great help from the 400 2.8 regarding bokeh (here I used it at f/3.2)  .

The pose of the head and neck, the razor back feathers on the head and neck all give a strong sense of the bird's resolve. The composition is great. The wings displayed as they are, are beautiful.

Thank you, Dave.

Yes, they are some wonderful and interesting creatures. It is, as mentioned earlier, a joy to follow them through the winter period.

Powerful and elegant indeed. A strong compositioon.
