Here is an individual one taking off for a flight. It was taken on a cloudy morning. I checked the posted image and it looked very flat, so I added +14 saturation to make it look what I seen on my monitor in PS. Please let me know what you think.

I am not crazy about the signature location and I say this first because it was the first thing I noticed, the rest looks outstanding, great pose, great detail, lovely comp, powerfull pose.
The Flamingo looks a bit orange in my monitor.
Congratulations!

Gorgeous image and colors Lori. Love the pose as well.
Agree with Ramón on texting the image. Takes the eyes away from the subject.

Fantastic pose! Agree the orange is a bit much. Copyright doesn't bother me, matter of taste "_

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great pose and details, just a bit tight in the frame for my taste, especially top and left.

[Kobus Tollig]

Ditto all ramon said. Still nice one

Well timed for the take off, and love the wingspread. I do agree the the colours are more on the orange side, and Im sure the colour on his tail feathers look more as what he should be.

wonderful take off scene. On my screen the colors look also a tad too orange. I would somehow work on the eye, if it was my shot. Cause in this version it's not really visible
