    Bill:

    Nice shooting angle, soft background, open bill, all good.

    In a perfect world, would prefer the head not merge with the wing.

    Nicely exposed except for the leading edge of the far wing.

    Cheers

    This one you got a great pose and light. Maybe as Randy mentioned that leading edge being a bit bright, but it does not overpower the image IMO.
    A very dynamic pose. I really like it Will.
    Thanks for sharing mate.

    Nice low angle, open beak, pose with open wings and good exposure. Despite I agree with the comment of Randy I still like it as it is. Nice one, William.
