Chris, I think this is only the second "7" I have ever given in ratings here.  I can't imagine how this image could be improved.

Great shot

Superb shot . Exposure,DOF and details are A1.

excellent

Chris,

Technically perfect !

With 1000mm focal length at F/9 , it was the correct "head-on" angle to capture this fast bird in stride.

Fine image.

Mike

Love it ... A new perspective of this bird at its level.

Great.. Hope u were out of its way on time.... 

Fantastich shot, put it directly with my favorites :)

Excellent image, it looks like a prehistoric bird, the foot of a dinosaur, ciao Giangiorgio

Perfect Chris.  Nice work.

Nothing to add... just perfect.  I particularly like the little dust cloud kicked up, it gives great motion to the shot... Mike

Best regards...........

Superfine technique here....Cheers Dolf
