Lovely flight pose John. I like the atmosphere surrounding the image. I would try less contrast on the bird, to see if it gave it a more 'misty' look, but nice as is.

Thanks as always for the feedback. The image was already negative contrast on the slider but I brought it down again here, took out the dehaze and a bit more space?

I like the wings down flight pose, and the tip touching the water is a nice touch. The image quality looks to be affected by what may be a large crop? Lots of noise and other types of "grainy" artifacts blocking the fine detail...

Thanks for reposting John. I think Dan is spot on with the crop situation.
