    Mike:

    Sharp, excellent exposure on the whites, great pose and angle in the frame.

    To my eye, it needs a bit of CW rotation. For personal taste, I would probably move it a bit more to the left in the frame.

    Cheers

    Mike, love the wing spread and outstretched legs. I always seem to miss these. Would also agree on a slight rotation and movement to the left, maybe a more typical 2 x 3 ratio. Congrats! TFS

    great capture, the exposure and sharpness on the bird look great. I think the two bright streaks in the BG on the left are a bit distracting and maybe can be removed. Nice one!

    Great plumage detail in that wingspread, Mike. Lovely and sharp but I would mask the sharpening off the vegetation in the water as it is looking a bit crispy.

    Great wing spread and wonderful light. You made the exposure at exactly the right moment.

    Great landing pose, exposure and IQ. I like a lot the background and lighting. If it were mine I would move it a bit more to the left in a 3:2 ratio reducing the OOF foreground, but is a matter of personal taste.
