This is a great image, Tom. As far as I am concerned--you nailed it! I really like the light on the leading edge of the wings.

[Fabs Forns]

Great capture!!! To be extra-picky, wish for a bit more separation between the bill and the wing.

In an ideal world, that is :)

I like the pose and BG. I would crop a bit off the bottom and add a bit on the right, just a matter of preference, though.

[Glenn Bartley]

A very cool flight pose you captured here. Nicely done!

P.S. If you are in Mississauga you should check out Col. Sam Smith Park. Thats right by where my parents live and there are always good birds to be found there.

[Gayle Clement]

Terrific flight shot, Tom. I agree about the crop. It would make a great image even better.

Love the angle of approach and eye contact, Tom!
Would boost the contrast a little ...
