    Nice capture whites look good . Do see some noise under the wings maybe it is just the feather detail giving that illusion.Looks sharp .TFS

    Nice frame of a bird I bet not many of us get to see. Shooting angle a little steep to take it into the wall hanger category, but sharp, well exposed and the catchlight in the eye adds a lot

    Very nice look at this fast flyer. I could also imagine this as a vertical.

    I would also go vertical, nice and sharp.

    These are such beautiful birds, and the spread wing pose is great. The bird looks a bit washed out - maybe from lifted shadows - and the frame as a whole lacks contrast. I might add some black to try to get a bit more punch.

    I like the crop as is but am curious how the vertical Dan suggested would look. Could really pop when coupled with more contrast. You could also drop the luminosity on the sky/blue a bit.

    The framing is right on as is the pose. I like the high key here.

    Nice and soft feel to this. I do wish for more interest in the BG (e.g. clouds) but that is what you had. I like the comp as is. I like Dorian's suggestions.

    This is a great bird.
    I suspect you do not have enough pixels to go vertical so I think this is a good crop.
    The overhead vew allows for a great look at the diagnostic tail.
    My #1 suggestion would be to drop the luminosity in the blues (easily doen in LR under the Hue/Saturation/Luminance tab. Go to luminance, pick blue and/or aqua color and move slider till you bring back the blues.
