    I took this last winter down at Long Beach Island, NJ on a beautiful sunny day. All C&C appreciated.

    Canon 7D, 500mm, F4, 1/2500, ISO200, manual exposure.

    Nice BG, light, and placement. Decent wing position. Exposure is perfect. I would make your signature smaller in the future.

    Looking forward to more!

    Hi Neil, good flying pose with the raised wings, sharp, and I do like the trailing droplets. The placement in the frame works too.

    excellent light, pose and details and the water drops add to the story!

    Very nice wing position. Would love to see a bit more sharpening on the head, otherwise it looks great!

    This looks alot better than I thought from the thumbnail. Colours, sharpeness, drops flying and water BG. I would look at lightening the wing's shadow on the back a bit more as my eye wanders there more than it should. Comp looks OK, but I'd try a version with the subject not so tucked in to the top and right.
