    I like the feel that the branches give. What do you think? 50D, ISO 400, 7.1, 1/1600, @560mm.

    Good job with those whites, love the landing pose and full wing position, might clone out the middle branch. My only complaint is lack of eye contact/HA, which is undrestandble for this landing angle.

    Hi Stephen.
    Not mad about the twigs in front, do you have a later shot, as he lands.
    I find those on the TR distracting.
    Good exposure and colour with nice angel wings.

    Superb details with the whites Stephen. Not overly mad about the twigs, but it is a part of the image and has a place.

    Dynamite landing pose - love those bent ankles and outstretched feet. Too bad the side of the face is shaded, but still cool illumination on the wings. The twigs have been mentioned, but I also wish you had more room below to include the clipped bottom part of the arched perch. The darker bloth touching the tail could also be toned down. Overall still very good action captured, and you got a perfect wing position!

    I like 'em. They repeat the arcs in the feathers and feet, adding interest to an image that is already interesting. Nice work.

    Hi Stephen, killer landing pose, and interesting view shown by David. Whites well controlled, and a great BG too. Well captured.

    Hi Stephen, great pose with lots of good details. I'll throw my two cents in and state that I like the branches. I think they add depth and interest.
