This flight image looks pretty darn good. I like the high key effect and you have very nice details in your feathers. Image is nice and sharp. I like the wing tips on the far wing!

[Mike Poole]

Works well with the blown out background, and I love the light coming through the wings

[Diane Miller]

Beautiful! Great you were able to react and catch this perfect position! I love the bright sky.

[Don Lacy]

While I am not a big fan of high key images it works well here as I love the translucent feathers on the wing, ad I perfect flight angle and you have a very nice image.

I love this wing pose. Colors and details works very good. It is a wonderful bird.
(Along the feets i can see chromatic aberration)

Thank you all for viewing and commenting. Your time, effort and opinion is very much appreciated.

Holger, you have wonderful eyes. The fringing and chromatic aberration I did not notice until you pointed me in that direction. I think this has fixed it and is better.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Wow, the far wing looks amazing!! Good job overall. I'd only be tempted to lighten the face and eye a tad more.

[Iain Barker]

Fantastic image. I love the light through the wings. I agree with lightening the head and would also try and darken the very bright feathers on the top of the neck very slightly.

Fantastic, I love your PP techniques, so much details.
