Excellent approach capture, Bill. Great fully extended wing and tail positions and fine feather detail. Beautiful surrounding habitat.

I like the setting and how the GBH fills the frame. Nice image Bill.

Beautiful pose, image quality and habitat. I really like shots of common birds that are far from a common shot. There is lots to like here so very well done. Ideally I would prefer to have the not so straight on. Based on the water/grass line near the head it looks like the shot could use some clockwise rotation.

Great timing, great action.

Very nice i like how its leaning to the left looks like its going to fall over.

Impressive wing spread!! I love the habitat depicted here. The only thing I would have preferred is a better view of the eye, even if ever faintly more. A rather impactful image!

[Bill Dix]

Thanks all. I agree that a better look at the eye would have helped.
