    Nice wings down image. They are surprisingly fast fliers. Too bad it wasn't headed in the other direction, the face would have probably been illuminated better.

    Will, If you address the Magenta cast which stems from the WB, then it becomes quite a nice shot, with detail. If you want to add anything more ie saturation or an HSL adjustment etc, your call.

    Well captured, William from your now famous balcony. I like the wings on the down flap, and I do like where Steve is headed with his reworking suggestions, but I might just bring only the shadows up a bit.

    An exciting from-home result. I don't think I've seen a flight shot of this species before, so good work on that front. Would be nice to see right/far wing, but the detail on the near wing is
    excellent. Lighting looked fairly steep, but there's nothing you can do about that now. Pretty good eye contact as well.

    Great shot from this "very common bird".
    Photography is an art, but editing is also. Some people here are amazing sharp on that. But it is the benefit when others take a look at your pictures, they see things a little different. They notices other things.

    Really like how the tones all match here. The bird and the background. Nice flight pose and framing.
