    I like the down wing position as it shows the beautiful plumage above. Well done mate. A really nice flight shot. I'd be inclined to crop a bit more from the top. :)

    Like the pose here Stephen. Lovely colours to match!
    Head appears slightly soft.

    Our lovely white faces. Super flying posture with the turned down wing, and the colours look spot on. Nicely separated from the BG too. I would maybe try some selective sharpening on the front/top of the wing. Apart from that, well captured Steven.

    Great wing position, exposure control and eye contact. I would just sharpen the bird more.

    Excellent pose and EXP on a bird I've only seen at the Zoo.
