Very nice flight capture Layton. I think a little fill flash would have given some much needed light to the shaded side and given you a catchlight in the eye. The bird is nice and sharp though I would add some canvas in front and crop a little from behind. To me it appears a little constricted with this presentation crop. Thanks for sharing. :)
Sharp, with dramatic light, but with the face in shadow and the white bird looking anything but white, this one does not work for me.
