WOW the detail certainly jumps out at you and great to see that there were a few clouds about to add to the BG.

Wonderful IQ on the image, details are fantastic
I love that eye looks clear inspite of the bird being big and in air
the dangling feet catch the eye, few streks of cloud in the sky make it more interesting to the eye.

Like the flight pose. Had to look twice at the slight clouds.

Hi Mike, great incoming pose, and the angle shows off the underwing detail nicely. I feel the pano crop works nicely, and the hint of clouds do add to the sky BG.

[Holger Leyrer]

I like the wing position, details and sharpness. Well done!

[Arthur Morris]

Nice pose and excellent use of DE. It is easy to over-do it.
