Hi Michael

Love the banking pose Lots of detail in the shadows and whites in check I like how you exposed for the bird. Bg blue sky with a couple clouds is a big plus !!! Looks like the Dad? Big Congrats !!!

Great flight position all in same plane.
Looks a little hot on one side of the body as compared to the wings.
Love to have the shot and also to have seen one this close.
Chas.

Excellent shot of this bird that is almost impossible to properly expose in the hot Florida sun. Love the spread wings and the details in the feathers beneath them.
