Whoaaaaa and wonderful, this is so intense! I would be tempted to clean up the soiled wings but maybe the bird should take care of that or not! Love the eye, love the dive and the HA, well done! super
Super pose and eye contact here. Great image quality. I would tone down the blue of the sky just a bit as I find it a bit overpowering. Also wish you didn't have such a dark shadow on the bottom of the bird. Minor items for a super shot.
Neat pose on the bird like the view of that eye. Light looks like it was directly overhead.
Well done Mike!! Nice colors and details in this one and I like the flared tail feathers. Yes to toning down the blue sky a bit but otherwise a fine capture. Well done
Love that turned head and yellow eye. Sharpness looks pretty good. I agree about turning the blue down a bit.
I like the head turn, wing/tail positions, IQ and tight composition. Another vote for toning down the sky. Excellent image Mike!
WOW!! Tack sharp, intense flight shot.
Love the head position.

Killer, killer, killer. Was this from our day together?
with love, artie
The dark shadow on the breast did not and does not bother me one iota. I did not even notice it until is was mentioned. If you want to bring it up a bit, you might try some NIK CEP Detail Extractor ...
with love, arite
ps: I'd like to know how you are supposed to get a top shot of a diving bird with the sun out without a shadow on the breast; it looks 100% pleasing and natural to me.
