    Nicely done. These are really fast creatures. Good down-wing position. I could imagine just a little more room in front.

    Hi Tim, excellent flying pose with the full downstroke of the wings, and in turn showing off great detail and colours too. I like the curvature of the body, and both the red feet and red bill stand out very well. Comp wise, I would take off the top, and add to the LHS.

    I think you have done an excellent job with this b i f .
    ok a little bit more room in front, thats all, but it is still a very good capture.


    Greetings Eric

    Very well done.
    Perfect wings down position and good IQ.
    I like the hint of wispy cloud in the BG.
    I am OK with your comp as is but could see a sliver more room on the left.

    You have captured this fast bird very well. Love the wing pose, colors and all the details in the plumage.
