Beautiful pose brother, nice light and Bg too..

[Doug Brown]

Love the pose. Great BG too. Compo looks just right. Perhaps a sliver of additional canvas up top.

[Mark Dumbleton]

Super image in super light. Love the pose. I feel the head is a tad soft, some selective sharpening will do the trick!

Excellent exposure and wing position, it seems there is a slight motion blur in the head area maybe some selective sharpening can help. agree with more room on the top. Excellent shot TFS

[Phil Liew]

Very well controlled exposure for the underwing section. Have you tried a 4 x 3 landscape ratio crop and added more to the bottom rather than the top instead. This may give a feel of the bird flying down to some space.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Excellent pose here!! Good exposure control, and very nice BG. The far wing's blur looks odd at the feather tips. If you do add canvas above then I'd suggest to also do the same below.

P.S. If you know you are going to be doing some action images don't be afraid to boost the ISO higher for even better shutter speeds.

How could you not love the pose in this shot Vatsal. The wing position is perfect with just the right amount of blur to add the feeling of motion. Your bg is nice as well.

great pose and exposure - agree with Mark, selective sharpening on the head will improve this!

[Arthur Morris]

Sharpness, great light and BKGR, sweet bird, and a loverly COMP. This one has it all. Pose, wing position, and far-wing blur are all perfect as well.

Very nice, love the sharpness, the wing position, the HA and beautiful background. Detail in white look good too. The legs look over sharpen a bit.
