Great banking angle and wingspread Joerg, sharp, with a complimentary BG. Well captured.

[Peter Farrell]

Beautiful flight pose and HA. Sharp and great BG. Might remove the red spot near the bottom wing.

Awesome pose captured beautiful bg as well. Excellent Shot!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very dynamic pose!! The detail is fantastic. I'd may place the bird a bit higher in the frame, but good as is. Terrific work!

[DanWalters]

Like the position of the bird and the details in the wings. Nice eye contact as well.

[Craig Brelsford]

Excellent work! The lower wing is getting too close to the bottom edge, and the light on the breast is a bit too loud. BG and attitude of the godwit are about optimal.

Thank you all for the encouraging feedback. Much appreciated. JR
