Nice even light with great wing position! Feather detail is good, especially considering you shot at ISO 1600. To bad the bird is flying away from you. A little more saturation and brightness would help make the image pop. Thanks for posting!

Better, but I might boost contrast a little in the repost. Kind of like this:

Thanks Doug, I will give that a try.
Good discussion here. I like the wing position and soft light. I would give it a bit more room at the bottom and crop some off the top and also would have preferred the bird flying toward you.
Hope I did better with this one?
For some reason I prefer to crop to standard print sizes, usually 8x10. That is the case with these photos.
Taken with a D300 Nikon.
