Hi Sid, absolutely nailed. Great flying posture, tack sharp, and I do like the detail and colours on the shoveller. Killer BG too. Well captured.

Stunning two coloured background! Love the detail. Superb!

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

what a shot! pretty much perfect...wing position, sharpness, BG, bird angle, light angle, shooting angle....totally nailed it.

Great wing position and BG. I really like the light on the far wing and the detail seen because of the nice light.Tack sharp. No one else has mentioned this but I wonder if you could extract a bit more detail in the belly feathers. It almost looks like there has been NR applied to that area.

No NR applied. I sharpened this one very lightly. I noticed after posting that I should've sharpened the bird a bit more. I'll give that belly another look tonight. Thanks for the feedback!

Love that detail on the far wing. Really nice flight shot of this guy.
