beautiful image..so glad u resisted the urge to crop the image....as the space really enhances the image...very well done..

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

Nice colors,clean bg and wing position,I would prefer a bit crop at the bottom,it looks small in the frame

I also find there's too much negative space, I tend to favor loose compositions on static subjects rather than flight.

Hey Art, love that great sky color...very sweet. I agree with Fabs and Manos that a crop would help if your posted image was full frame. Without subtle clouds or something to break up the sky, the overall image is just a little bland if you don't go in tighter...just my opinion of course. Great job to photograph this species. They are beautiful and have proved rather elusive for me. :)

Love the sky and the soft light but count me in the big crop from the bottom camp.

later and love, artie
