Very cool pose and eye contact. I might put him a bit further left in the frame and increase contrast and saturation a few points. Something like this maybe.
Wow, Bill, great job capturing this speedy bird. Axel has a couple great ideas...I sure would be happy to have this image as my own.
Very good job on this one Bill. Fantastico pose and very good head turn. I like Axels´s sugestions about composition
Thank you so much Axel for the suggestion and the repost, it does have more impact your way, thank you so much.Originally Posted by Axel Hildebrandt

Bill, You are getting better and better. Way to go. Axel's repost is a big improvement; the crop from the back was mandatory. We almost always want less space behind the bird than in front of it. Love the wing position and the trailing feet. Though I wish that it were mine, I humbly disagree with Juan in that the head is turned a bit too far away from you and thus is not as well lit as the rest of the bird. All that you had to do was press the shutter button 1/2 second soooner!

I love the banking pose Bill. Axel's repost has improved the appeal 100-fold. Amazing how a small tweak can have such a huge effect!
