Mike, I like the pose and the details in the whites. The feet hanging down like that adds some interest to the image.

hey mike nice image we have to use a 600 mm plus 1.4x to get closer.nice meeting you at bosque

Good exposure and pose, and the hint of treed habitat in the BG is OK. Looks like the face may needed an additional round of sharpening for web presentation and I would enhance the catchlight in the eye, but an overall strong image!

Nice flight pose. I would consider a slight blur on the BG.

Hi Mike , wonderful clear landing image, like the landing gear and near wing position with a nice background. Agree with the other comments above.

The only thing that distracts my attention from the bird is the two tones of the background. Otherwise lovely.
