Love these birds. They're a lot of fun to watch flying around. I like the slight turn towards you, making for a nice view of the wings and back. Wish that he'd been flying the other direction with the same pose. The light would've nicely lit up the colors on the back.

Remarkable capture and a cool pose. Still a bit too much room around the bird that is not doing anything for the image. If he had been flying in the other direction, the head would have been in shadow....
