Hi Joe,
I like the flared primaries and the flared tail.
Exposure and IQ look good.
I am a sucker for softer light so would have preferred the light to be less bright but that is a personal preference.
The eye looks great.
i wouldn't mind a tiny bit more room at the top and RHS.

Hi Gail, I hear you regarding the light... Florida in the summer, sun rises and quickly it becomes very bright. I also agree with adding canvas, just haven't done it yet. Thanks for viewing, commenting, and offering suggestions.

Hi Joe, great diagonal flight pose across the frame, and good to see the underwing detail. Great eye, and nicely separated from the water BG. Yes to more space.
Hey Joe, really like the RP, does you hard work justice.
Upping the ISO to 400 wouldn't have hurt and given you even more SS which isn't bad think for BIF, however I think adding a luminosity adjustment layer will bring some more tonal depth to the head & bill and so you also have control over how much to add too. Think the shooting & PP have kicked up another gear, well done.
