    Great unusual flight position and lovely background. The image is tight for my tastes though, I wish for a bit more open space.

    Hey Arno, super comp, and love the angle of flight. Stunning light, and the colours look well exposed. Sharp where it counts, and I like the colour of your BG. Im undecided about the tree, but would add to the RHS.

    Looks a little tight in the frame. Good sharpness and you have a nice BG. I would remove the tree but that's just my personal opinion.

    Comp a bit tight. Agree with stu on space in front. Sharp and good colours. Like the branches. Well done.

    Nice pose and pin sharp. I don't mind the branches. It feels to tight in the frame for me.
