Great take-off captured, with tricky but handsome side lighting. I'd be tempted to brighten the near eye.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Excellent shot my only suggestion would be to brighten the left eye a little..just noticed Bill's comment!

[Mike Poole]

Lovely dramatic take off shot, love the wing position. In an ideal world, the light would have been coming from behind you rather than the side, but I think the above suggestions above should help.

Either way, it's a shot I'd love to have taken
