Karl, good flying posture, well exposed on the whites, and just love that sky BG. Although we all like close ups of our subjects, I find there is too much goose in the frame. :w3

[Ofer Levy]

Very nice! SHarp with good detail and excellent exposure control. Like the pose and BG too. If anything just slightly big in the frame for my taste.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Great exp and flight angle and it really pops nicely from the BG...I dont mind the size of the bird but would like to see some space for him to fly into (but I suppose you cant do one with out the other) TFS Karl

Thank you Doug and all of you people whom commented.
You are absolutely right with the comp. I modified it from 7x5 to 12x8 (added canvas to the right) giving him some extra room to fly into.
It looks soooo much better.
Thanks again.
Karl.

Pose, exposure and focus all look excellent and very well done. I also like that you added some room in front.

[Jim Crosswell]

Excellent image Karl! I would like to see your new version. Great IQ, wing position and BG.

this is extremely beautiful image. bg is so complimenting here. just wish to add little more space on right

[arash_hazeghi]

very nice I'd go a bit looser too

[Jim Buescher]

Excellent flight shot Karl. Perfect wing position and a good BG that sets it off nicely.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very nice shot, a little tight in the frame for me and I wonder if there is a slight blue cast?

[Dan Behm]

Karl,
Very nice flight image, like the upbeat wing stroke and Iq here all in some sweet light. I too would opt for a slightly looser crop. Excellent shooting!

[Karl Egressy]

Thank you all. I added some canvas to the front as you guys suggested.
It already looks better, I guess. Here it is.
