Lovely flight image of this species Stuart with good coverage of DOF focus from near wing tip to eye--I wish I could catch one of these in flight.<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/4baa5029/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/4baa5029/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script>

Nice image good pose, I wasn't there but it looks just a little heavy i.e. saturated to me (??)

[Noel Heustis]

Stuart - very nice capture. I love the down wing position and the bird stands out nicely against the blue bg.

[Isaac Grant]

I like the wings down position. Details on the bird look good but the head looks a touch soft. Also the bird and water have a cyan cast to them and are over saturated as John says. Also I would move the bird to the left in the frame and give it more room to fly into.

[Dorian Anderson]

Great wing pose with splayed feathers! Agree with giving him more room and taking the blue down a bit.

[Randy Rimland]

nice focus on the eye, maybe tone down the saturation some
