    Looks sleek and fast. Detail on the bird looks pretty good. Framing is right on.

    Nice light and good exposure.
    The slightly topside view is good as well.
    I think this could use a bit of CW rotation.
    Nice and sharp.
    Good solid frame.

    The slightly angled banking pose saved the "pancake" wing positions here - good thing! The subject could benefit from some spot removal IMO. I love the subtle water texture to the BG.

    Colin, looks good from here. Not easy to get the details in whites and blacks as you did. Framing might be a tad loose by some standards but I like it here.

    Well done.

    nice light and BG, good details in both blacks and whites. I like the topside view but it would have been even better if the bird was banking

    This is one of the best images you've posted; it's an interesting subject in action with good exposure and details. Would be a bit stronger if he was looking a bit more towards you, but the isolation from the water makes for a
    striking image regardless. Yes to a bit of CW rotation.

    Thanks for the comments, hopefully I am gradually getting the hang of the new gear.
