Much prefer this frame Michael. Nicely done!

Michael, Now this one rocks! Great sharp details and I love seeing the wings down for this. :)Excellent.

[Gal Shon]

This one is much better, well done.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the wing position in this one even better than in the previous post. Eye contact and sharpness look good, too, and I would tone down the whites on the neck a bit more.

[Arthur Morris]

Wow, Denise was right. I like this one way better. Have never seen such a killer view of the upper wing detail on this species. You were on your game that day. And so, so sharp. A bit more room in front of the bird would be great (if you have it).

[Ilija Dukovski]

Great flight image, nicely done. We don't see this species too often here.
Probably not the easiest one to get close to.

[Ofer Levy]

Awesome work! My only suggestion is to tone down the white on the neck. Composition looks fine to me - would not add room in front of the bird. If anything maybe just a bit off the top to get a more 2:3 ratio.

This is totally awesome Mike and I like both shots that you posted of this species very well done keep it up.:)
