Nice picture, like the landing pose, colors, background and wing blur. The whites on the neck look too hot in my monitor.

[Gayle Clement]

I like the background and the parasol effect of the curved wings. Could you open up the shadows on the underwings a bit?

[Andrew McCullough]

Love the pose and the dark bg. The white on top looks a little harsh. I like the wing blur.

[Doug Brown]

Like the composition and the pose a lot. Here's a repost based on some of the above feedback. SH/H to bring out the underwing detail, toned down the hot spot on the neck, slight saturation boost to the bird. How do you like it?

Looks great Doug, I'll try to apply it to the raw and see what comes out.
Thanks

That's nice Doug.

[Gus Cobos]

Nice capture Gary,
Like the flight angle and the colors agree with the hot spot on the neck area. The background is a wee bit dark for my taste...:D

[Chris van Rooyen]

Nice action and great sharpness on the head area. Overall I would prefer it to be lighter, but the time of day may have been against you, hence the hard light on the neck area(?)

[Paul Pagano]

Love the repost. Love the pose.

[Raul Quinones]

I also like the repost.
