I think this is one of your best , sharp, well exposed, nice pose,good dof. I might trim a tiny bit off the top and add a sliver to the right, but very nice as is. I might tone down the brightest spot just above the head.

Cheers

Love this flight pose and your details are just awesome. Whites pop so well against the green. Whites could be just a little muddy on the head but nothing major. Lovely capture!

I like it as it is, sharp with good details on the whites. Normally I don't like squarish crop but this work for me due to the pose of the bird, look balance with square crop. Not sure if you need 1/4000s for this flight shot, maybe you could lower the iso a bit, but D4 does well at high ISO anyway.

This is good Wheeler, the bird is sharp and looks good against the BG. Well done.

Exposure well handled making the bird look clean and bright....but not blown out badly. Sharp as it could be and contrasting so well against the backdrop...my only thought was to have a bit more room on the right, apart from that.....super bit of photography
