A beauty in all respects, Chris. Color, bg, exposure, comp, wing position. Don't know if it could stand a tiny bit more selective sharpening of the head, but it could be my eyes.

excellent Chris ! Bird is sharp and well exposed with great colours and bg. Well done !

[Ofer Levy]

Excellent indeed!! If anything a bit big in the frame for my taste.

[Fabs Forns]

Terrific capture in very sweet light, those feathers really shine! Excellent pose and sharpness, I may tone down the whites in the face. Very nice work!

[Kiran Poonacha]

Beautifully done, loved the pose, nice details, great light and beautiful colours with the BG too..

[Stu Bowie]

Great flying posture Chris, and against a killer BG.

[Michael Zajac]

Fantastic sharp details and great looking image quality.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great capture, wing position, sharpness and BG look very good. I agree with Ofer that it is a bit tight in the frame.

[Chris Kotze]

Thanks for all the comments and advice :)

Fantastic image, exposure of the bird looks great, nice bg, ha and eye contact.
