I like the wing position, sharpness and eye contrast and wish the bird were flying towards you. The color temperature looks a little warm considering the high shutter speed.

[Brian Barcelos]

Very nice Stuart, You did very well in capturing this quick little guys in flight. I agree with Axel's comments above.

Nice shot Stuart! Details are great and don't mind the side on approach. Like the added warmth too.

[Dave Barnes]

The fast shutter speed has helped with the sharp wing capture Stu.
Good to get the wings fully up. I like the flight angle.

[Morkel Erasmus]

side angle great for me - love the wing position and sharpness Stu - lovely shot!

[Ramon M. Casares]

Excellent pose, perfect light, detail is great, colors could be a tad more saturated IMO. Lovely comp and powerfull overall image.
Congratulations!

Hi Stuart

We have a flock of pigons down on the local shore and I sometimes go down and use them for flight shot practice. Captured in good light and some lovely detail in that underwing. A good sharp flight photograph. I prefer front on or at an angle photos for birds in flight where possible as I just think they are more interesting especially if the bird is coming in to land.

Cheers
