Hi Monte,

  Wonderful capture with perfect timing, colors & details.  Take care, Patsy

Nikon D800; 600 mm; 2500 sec/F5.6 iso 800.

You have not lost your touch by any means...wonderful and impressive capture my friend and very nice pp! Warm regards.

Absolutely amazing to capture this scene so well!

Incredible clarity and detail! 

Even more so when I read that these birds are capable of reaching speeds exceeding 200 mph. 

I echo Wobby's sentiments though, it would be interesting to know how you achieved such excellent results.

 

Best Regards

I spend a lotta lotta time waiting, watching and researching where I think an exchange might occur from observing previous exchanges.  Its one of the shots I am specifically going after.  In other words its an obsession.

Beautiful capture, very well done.

Excellent shot,Monte. Superb timing & exposure. 7.

Great action with perfect timing and composition.

Very skillful - both birds and photographer.

A perfect shot. Very well controlled tracking and focus with quite heavy equipment.

An enviable shot my friend.

Well worth the wait.......... congrats.

Spectacular catch in every way! One suggestion for post processing: in the large size photo some noise reduction artefacts show up on leg and wing, maybe lower NR settings can avoid those?

Nice shot pard, That one talon looks dangerously close to the neck of the adult.

Monte, I have to agree with everyone else - this is a spectacular image with superb detail.  So well done.

Monte-  This is truly one of the most amazing action shots of birds of prey that I have ever seen. A perfect capture, IMHO. F/8 and be there!

Magnífica.
