Really like the sunset, almost like being there. The wedgie is a good shot too. The other two shots I'm not particularly fussed over, I like the idea of the rocket... but I think we are just too far away to feel it's real power.

Love the clarity of the eagle photo, and the beautiful gradation in the sunset. The 4th, while a good try at adding interest with leading lines, might have worked better in nicer light. I sort of agree with Alpha_7 on the launch, but I do like the documentary aspect of it.

G'day BV,
That shot of the wedgie's a bewdy, sharp as well caught. Wonder whether a play with either curves or shadow highlight stuff in PP on just the dark areas might bring out some more detail in the darker feathers? Great catch though, well done.

Terrific capture of the eagle big V. Sharp, great contrast, well lit and great perspective. It's got it all! Wondered if you had used a flash extender?

No flash used and will have a chance to do some post processing later in the week...

In that case the light was just perfect big V. Great image!
