Interesting takeoff pose and good exposure control. I wish for a lower angle and the head looks as if there is a bit of motion blur.

[Doug Brown]

Cool take-off pose. I might try to brighten the wings a bit. And I would selectively sharpen the eye. Agree with Axel about a lower angle.

Dont like to harp - but agree with Doug and Axel also - just a little steep - but cool take off pose and detail and colours look good.

TFS :)
