    Like the pose on the bird and the diaganol wing position. A little tight in the frame.

    I like the diagonal positioning in the frame in this one too, Joe. While the background is a little busy and not ideal, this is still a fine image with nice pop and excellent detail and handling of the white plumage. Looks like a few breeding plumes trailing the back of the bird here.

    Hi Joe,

    This is very cool. Yes it's a bit tight in the frame, but in focus from tip of beak to end of straggling tail feathers. I like the banking pose and clear view of the raised Alula. Well done.
