    I like this a lot! Great pose, sense of motion, BG and the included nest puts it over the top for me. I would love to see it a bit bigger, 800 pixels on the longest side are allowed. It could go a tad brighter for my taste. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming!

    I like the comp on this and the wing blur. The eye looks a bit soft and maybe you could use a bit more contrast. Love the "eye on the prize" look.

    I agree with the excellent comments above. For the eye, I would darken the pupil and de-SAT the iris a bit with QMs. I love he dorsal view of he wings and of course, the inclusion of the nest. All in all, quite nice.

    Inclusion of nest makes this image for me. Awesome wing display. Superb image!

    Very nice work. I agree that Artie's and Axel's suggestions above would improve an already great image.

    Beautiful composition, nice action. Which Canon were you using?

    Love it! The eye looks just a bit strange, maybe over sharpened, the rest for me, it is just outstanding!
