pretty cool pose and bird, nice exposure. I'd de-sat and brighten the sky BG a bit to make it less "electric" but nice otherwise. would have been even better against color

Hi Sasan. yes, this is a nice under wing pose with good detail. I echo Arash's comment re the BG, but I'm also seeing a white halo around the bird's head.

[Dorian Anderson]

Nice underside view with perfect exposure and detail. Good head angle too. I didn't see it on a first pass, but Paul's mention of a head halo seems right on a second look. Blue sky is what it is, but the composition is spot on.

[Daniel Cadieux]

A pretty much perfect banking pose here, and with an ideal head angle too. I imagined cropped from horizontal. Bland blue sky, but I'd take this in a heartbeat!
