I took this last winter down at Long Beach Island, NJ on a beautiful sunny day. All C&C appreciated.

Canon 7D, 500mm, F4, 1/2500, ISO200, manual exposure.

Nice BG, light, and placement. Decent wing position. Exposure is perfect. I would make your signature smaller in the future.

Looking forward to more!

Thanks Aidan

Hi Neil, good flying pose with the raised wings, sharp, and I do like the trailing droplets. The placement in the frame works too.

excellent light, pose and details and the water drops add to the story!

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Very nice wing position. Would love to see a bit more sharpening on the head, otherwise it looks great!

This looks alot better than I thought from the thumbnail. Colours, sharpeness, drops flying and water BG. I would look at lightening the wing's shadow on the back a bit more as my eye wanders there more than it should. Comp looks OK, but I'd try a version with the subject not so tucked in to the top and right.

Daniel / Miguel: Appreciate the feedback. I will try and make those tweaks. Thanks !
