A fine landing pose, Allen. Perfect wings-fully-back flight position and beautiful green water BG. I could imagine just a hint more sharpening, and maybe a little more room all around, but fine shot as posted. Interesting juvi plumage.

Hi Allen, Very nice background and pose on the bird. If you have cropped this image, it may be a consideration to have a bit more room on the left and a fair bit more on the right. Perhaps just a looser crop will result in more well defined edges too. Merry Christmas! Ross

Allen it's the head and feet that hold my attention, agree a little more sharping ,real nice landing pose.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice landing pose captured.

[arash_hazeghi]

Hi Allen, you got an attractive dynamic pose with wings fully stretched, and a nice BG, it's a bit big in the frame as noted above, and it does look soft to me as well. maybe a bit more sharpening would help if the RAW was sharp

A super posed Allen. Love the full stretch. A good background to displays him well. I agree with the suggestions above.

This is very good.
I will not repeat the good advice received above.
Great wing extension and nice clean BG. Love those feet.
