WoW Tim! I never even got my AF on this guy! Looks great with nice wing position and you have shown the pink on the head perfectly.
I would lighten the shoreline a bit via the dodge tool to lessen its impact,

?700mm .is that a typo?

Hi Tim, excellent flight pose showing the full downstroke of the near wing. Good sharp detail throughout, and I do like the various colours on this species. The foliage BG works well here. Well captured.

Hi Tim, looks good! Love the lighting and the nice red/pink iridescence on the head! I agree with the dodging suggestion from Gail!

I love the pose, the colours as mentioned above and the flight angle, but the head looks softer than the body to me, and there is a halo around the head as well.

Gail, no typo 500mm + 1.4 ext., good idea on the BG thanks

Vey nice Tim. Love the fact that you got the nice pink color to the nape and the wing position and BG look great too. Not as productive as it could have been but it looks like we all came away with a few nice keepers. Well done Buddy
