I like the incoming pose and BG and would crop tighter. It's a bit hard to tell at this size but maybe some S/H to get more details in the blacks. Thanks for sharing!
I think the bird is too far away and too flat. The wing position isn't very interesting and there are very few details here. I do like the flare of feathers at the end of each wing, just wish I could see them in detail.
Thanks Carole. I have few close up flight shots too. Will post them sometime. Wanted to try something different and artistic in this case. It's interesting to know different thoughts. :)
