    This is excellent, Kirsten!. Great light, pose, details and BG. I would only try to brighten the shadows under the left wing and it is a bit tight in the frame for my taste. Keep them coming.

    A terrific image! Wonderful light and I like the BG. It may be a bit tight but there is space all around the bird and nothing is clipped so it works for me. A little more space in front of the bird would be nice.

    Great flight shot. I love the golden light on this subject. I would add a little more room all round if you have more canvas. Congratulations.

    There is nothing else I could possibly add from what has been said already. A first class image.
