wow, great shot. You're timing must have been BANG on.

But here is one thing about digital.. the damn lighting makes his outline look like you cut and pasted it out of another photo.. why can't the highlights glow a bit like film lol :(

I have a feeling that is from just a tad too much Edge Enhancement in PS. Mino?

Looks great to me. Would have worked out better if there had been a few clouds in the sky to debunk the cropping myth. I love the way the light is hitting the bird and it looks perfectly exposed. Very nice.

All I did was drop the blue level of the sky and sharpen the whole image once using PS sharpen as it looked a tad soft. If I had cut him out I would have pasted him into a better looking sky:) I didn't use edge enhancement at all.
