Cool pose, looks like it is diving.
Very sharp and interesting to see one in flight.

I like the different take on this flight shot. I thing you have great detail and a nice look at the eye and feet as well

A different and visually effective look at this bird. The curve of the head gives us a look at the eye, and that helps the image. I think I might see a bit of a magenta cast in the sky.

Thanks for the comments. I think you are correct regarding the magenta cast in the sky Doug, I have reposted with +10 balance towards green on the sky, thanks for spotting that one.

Interesting and different flight pose, head turn makes it for me. Rp takes it up a notch.

This is really a unique flight pose, Nick. The upside down view with everything so well lit, the spread tail feathers and those cute little feet just make this one very powerful. This is a contest contender for sure.

Thanks for the nice comments, particularly your contest contender comment Marina, I was quite taken aback.:S3:

Great shot, Nick. Not your typical flight shot but its uniqueness works quite well. Everyone has already nailed all other points. Agree with Marina's contest contender comment.
