Very nice high key image. I like the wing position and the branch adds to it. I might crop a bit off the top.
Just beautiful. Perfect white sky flash flight technique. Adding a thin black frame (Edit/Stroke) for web presentation would be a plus.

Adams, it's perfect and it looks just like a painting- quite a work of art this is and I think this is a favorite of mine! Do frame it and hang it on the wall! It would also look nice with a tilt to the right so that it is flying with more of a diagonal. Best regard

Well done, Adam, lovely high key with great wing position!
Hey Adams, great work on the technicals and creating a sharp image. I'd actually like to see your subject dead center in the frame.
Really excellent highlights control, the whites look great! I am always impressed with bird captures that offer a little something extra of interest and that nesting material fills that role well here. My only nit would be to agree with the crop suggestion. I can understand you probably chose this crop to provide space for the subject to fly in, but for whatever reason on this shot it seems more attention grabbing (to me) dead center as shown by Blake above. Overall, a fantastic capture!
Excellent image Adams. Beautifully done. You managed to get a great shot, with nesting materials, without an obscured face/eye. Well done.
Excellent image. I love whites on whites! The control of the flash is impressive as well as the amount of details, I also love the pinkish hues. Oh yes and I think Blake's repost is very interesting. That must be one cool looking print!
Cheers,
Philippe.
Shawn,
Thank you for the comment. I will try your crop suggestion.

Thank you for taking the time to re work the image, I left some roon in front of the bird to give open space to fly in to.But i have to agree with you that the bird in the center of the frame looks realy nice.
Thank you,
Adams
