Killer incoming pose Nick.
Well done getting this shot!
I really love it!

Yes me to Nick. Lovely frame with the 'coming out the frame' feeling about it Well done.
That's a great one, for sure! Good catch, great photo!

Great in-coming flight shot! Very nice wing spread and body and feet position. Strictly a personal choice, but I would de-saturate the greens just a bit.
Love this shot, does have a 3D affect. Great pose, sharp and exciting image. Only thing that I don't like is the green/white transition being right over the subject. I would prefer the subject to be fully in the green if you have any frames where it was.

Nick:
Great down the barrel landing pose, got to love those feet and the near perfect symmetry of his pose.
Yes, a bit unfortunate that the horizon line fell in that spot, but because of the parallel wing position, it tends to work better than expected to my eye.
Cheers

Hi Nick,
Very nice incoming shot. A unique capture. Well done.
Allen
A very different POV, I love it. Great work!
Super nice incoming landing pose. I love the fact that the bird is at the separation of the two colors in the BG, but still in the top part. Super shot!
Good shot Nick well focused and detailed, I like the colours too.
Love everything about this one especially the flat-winged flight pose. a

What a fantastic "Incoming" image! (makes me feel like I have to "duck"!) Superb POV here. The BG transition between green/white is perfect. Provides an excellent dimension to the image re: landing. White area is a great backdrop to the wing spread/head/neck... green area shows off those giant orange feet beautifully. Wow!
