Hi Frank. That is a very smooth gliding pose there and I really like that you were able to show the iridescence in the color of the wing I think the image could be improved by adding some canvas to the rear as the feet are very close to the edge of the frame. I also think I see some noise on the bird . Posting a larger image would make it a little easier to critique.

Nice to get this glossy in flight and I like seeing the iridescence. You have a pretty good angle, although I would give the bird a bit more room. I am finding the image/glossy underexposed which is why you are probably seeing noise in the bird. I think with a little PS, you could bring this image to life.

Thank you, I will address both issues and post a larger correction.
