Hi William,
I am not crazy about this image.
Way too contrasty for my taste. But I admit that I have never really liked high key images so perhaps my personal prejudices are getting in the way of a fair critique.
The light shining through the wing feathers is appealing.
The whites on the belly are hot and i wish there was more light on the head.

Awesome diving pose, Will and good idea going high-key. More light on the head would have improved this one. Comp wise, I think there ought to be more space on our left than our right.
