Hi John, love the 3D effect here, and you really nailed the flight pose here. Tack sharp, and I like the droplets. If anything, I would remove the lower catchlight. Well captured.

John:
Agree with Stu. I might consider toning down the upper background as it is just bright enough and massive enough to draw the eye away.Nice angle in frame, exposure.
Cheers

A beauty of a flight shot. Nice swept back wing angle, good HA. I find the upper BG mildly distracting, but not a serious detriment.

Nice and sharp with good incoming flight path.
I agree with Bill re; BG. I like the clear view of the foot.
I would remove the lower catchlight and the dustspot on lower LH edge of frame.

Glad we can see the speculum on the far wing. I agree about the upper BG, but good image overall.

Killer sharp flight frame !! Nice that we can see the foot well and I agree about removing the second catchlight, it gives the eye a clearer look. Nice work
