    Excellent flight shot. Nice wing spread, HA,two tone BG, and composition. I like the stretched pink feet.
    I would remove the tiny black spot just behind the foot. Is it water droplet?

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Thanks Satish. Yes, it is a mud water droplet.

    I like the pose, colours, and comp. Well exposed too with the black-and-white subject. The face seems a bit soft, I suspect critical focus locked somewhere else on the belly (the wings are nice and sharp).

    Thanks Daniel. I guess the softness is due to lack of local contrast around the eye. Reposting the image. Let me know if you still feel the same.

    love the pose and BG, sweet light. The head does appear soft to me.
