    What a gorgeous bird, I love the detail and pose. Some of the whites of the body look a little hot to me and I think it could use a little room on top (less beneath). That BG looks so awesome, very smooth but still gives it a setting.

    Lovely eye contact and wing position with underwing details - BG is great but I might reduce the pale streak on the right and lighten the dark areas just below the bird. Maybe a touch more sharpening for web presentation.

    Absolutely super shot - great eye contact. I would consider lowering some of the highlights a little and also as previously said a little canvas to the top.

    Stunning eye contact in this capture and I like the flight pose and lighting. IMO I would prefer a tad more canvas on the top. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi there,

    Very nice eye contact. You captured the bird just in time for the wings to be up. I would like to see it with just a little more sharpening. I also agree with Judy regarding the canvas.

    I really find the neutral colors pleasing and the light is gorgeous. I agree it's a little high in the frame.

    Not sure in adding some more room on the top as for this species and its behavior this is a nicely balanced image.
