Hi John, not an easy bird to catch in flight! I like the eye contact and the full upward wing position. WOuld probably go a little darker on the whole image.

Hi John I like the focusing ability of that lens with converter !! Also like your ability to work a tripod !!!

Would consider cropping a little top and bottom for proportion. Also wish the bg was cleaner but nothing you can do about it !! Big Congrats !!!!!

Great wing position and eye contact. It looks a bit bright and I would sharpen the bird a bit more.
