Very nice Jim. Looks sharp, good HA, spacing looks good for me, and I really do enjoy the BG too.

Pin sharp Jim, with excellent detail and exposure. I like the take off posture, and the colour of the surrounding grasses puts this over the top for me. Well captured.

The bird looks great against those nice fall colors. Exposure and sharpness look quite good. Nice image.

Jim:

Nicely captured image, like the pose and composition. Feels like fall. Nice to see so much light and detail under the far wing.

I might knock down the sheen a long the legs a bit.

Cheers

As far as the brightness of the legs goes, I had actualy originally knocked it down as Randy sugggested.

In doing so, the detail also became more subdued and as this was what it looked like in the field, I opted to leave it as captured.

Very nice Jim. I like the composition of the out stretched bird. BG is very nice as well. Dave

I like the take-off pose, sharpness, BG and composition and would only tone down the highlights some more.

That is one beautiful image...
I love the wing position, tail, great exposure, sharpness, Comp, pose,
eye contact and the surrounding (FG & BG). well done.

everything already said , I liked wing pose and BG very much

Very well exposed showing nice detail in the white feathers. The comp, foreground and OOFBG all work well.
The bird contrasts well with the BG. Pleasing image.

Excellent golden BG Jim, it goes well with the whites!!! Everything spot on, TFS.
