Good exposure control, pose and details. It's a bit tight in the frame for my taste and I would prefer if the brighter vertical band on the right were not there.

Excellent exposure in this capture Loukie and nice timing to capture this flight image. I agree with Axel that a tad mor room top and bottom would strengthen this image. Thanks for sharing.

[Gus Cobos]

Great capture,
Agree with the constructive comments...good show...keep them coming...:cool:

[Vincent Grafhorst]

Yep they are good for target practice! Great details shown here Loukie, very nice.

I like the sharpness and the wing position but the whites in the far wing look a bit hot to me, and the light a bit harsh.

Agree with above comments regarding the bird being tight in the frame and the vertical band of water on the right. Since the bird is there all the time, you should be able to get a killer photo; I look forward to seeing it!
