    Very nice! I'm wondering if the saturation can be spruced up a bit, but I like the image a lot. Well done.

    I like the tonality of the whole image. Nice wing down pose and IQ.

    Hi Sid, its taken a year to post this???? Fantastic flight pose, and I like all the earthy colours on the hen, which in turn are complimented by the colour of the water in the BG. The trailing droplets add a nice touch. Well captured.
