Hey John, nice in flight, I like the BG as well. Clean look at the face but the shadow bugs me here. TFS

I quite like it, the browns in the plunge are reflected in the landscape, the eye is good and sharp. Highlights and darks well controlled.
I just had a google - wow some lake 40 miles long - bigger than anything over here!

It's good for the most part, but I gotta admit that this is not my favorite wing position ever. Shadow on the body is unfortunate as well. Good sharpness, nice colours, and love the trailing legs and feet.
