Kyle is pretty good at getting spectacular shots of scary subjects.   
Some flying too.
I might switch to his style, as I'm not having much luck lately with  
my specialty lately.
The colour and the composition is appealing, but it's just not sharp  
enough.  Or close enough.  Mirage plays merry hell with shots taken  
at 50 meters.  Converters only make it worse.

Wedge tail eagle, two weeks from flying, taken the weekend before.  I  
watched this one eat a rabbit just after dad dropped by a little  
later in the day.  Table manners?  Not really.
