Dynamic pose here, almost like it was right before beginning a dive. Good comp, and focus looks good. The details seem a bit coarse though, perhaps a large crop? I also wish the light had better splashed the eye and lores. I love those feet under the tail!

Hi Roy, I like this flying pose with the forward 'V' shape of the wings. Well exposed on the dark plumage, and agree with Dan, the IQ is lacking a touch. Still, well captured.
