I see some noise in the dark areas. You could clean that easily. A little tight for me, but I like the wing pose and eye contact. Good shot!

[Leo Berzins]

Great flight pose, Gary, but I agree with Ákos about the noise.
Extending the canvas on the left would be easy and would enhance the image, IMHO.

[Phil Ertel]

Fine image! I love the wing position and eye contact. I agree with those above that it feel a little tight. I would give Leo's suggestion a try as I agree it might make this even stronger. I a little curious, did you drop this much? jsut asking because of the noise. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice angle on this one and wing position. It does seem a bit more room on left would help. Well done. Dave
