    Joe:

    Very well exposed, sharp, great full down wing position, outstretched legs/feet.

    Wish he was angling towards us.

    Cheers

    Joe the whites on this bird look perfect to me, beautiful feather detail.

    Everything looks great here, except that the bird is angling away. Great looking whites.

    Exposure is right on with this one, and the feather detail in the wings look great!

    If he were flying toward us (maybe a few frames before htis one?), this would be even better!
