Welcome KK. You are the Master of Flight. I like the frraming, the pose, and the one visible red eye. I'd perfer the wing tips either sharper or more blurred. Do you know where this species breeds?
Later and love, artie

Big Welcome KK !!!!! What a treat !!!
Love the head on look and feather detail !!! Big Congrats !!!
Welcome .KK. Great to have you here. Beautiful flight shot and I love the slight head turn showing us the one eye and the wonderful wing spread which almost creates a diagonal. Excellent detail and exposure too.
Happy New Year !!
Thanks and congratulations on the excellent Site, Artie!
