Chris:

Striking teal, love the edging of the dark feathers on back with white. Excellent wing position.

He looks like he is angling ever so slightly away, but very close.

There is a bit of "coarseness" in the detail in head and bill. Was this much of a crop?

Thanks for sharing!

Great flight pose and a nice exposure. Sharpness is quite good. Although the bird is angled slightly away, it's still a fine image!

I like the wing position, sharpness and light and would only tone down the highlights more.

Excellent flight shot Chris. Lovely wing position. don't mind the angle as is so slight. Nice one.

I like the reflection and wing and head position. I does not bother me that the bird is turned a bit.

Well caught, Chris. Lovely plumage patterns and colour. Wondering about a little CCW rotation.
