Stuart:

Great timing on the capture of wing position and open mouth. Powerful pose.
Because it looks like he is climbing, I might add a bit of room above.

It is too bad the beak merges with the wing, but still works very well.

I love the eye. I agree about a little more room on top. Wing position and detail are excellent.

[Harshad Barve]

another vote for some room on top

wow excellent flight and open bill and anger expression work out very well here.
