    I like this one alot despite the plain blue sky. Perfect body and head angles (slightly towards us), awesome wingspan. The eye is nice and sharp, with a good catchlight. Good comp too. Congrats!

    Jonathan, I like the sharp details and topside view. The blue BG really accents the colors of the bird IMO. Nicely done.

    Good banking angle, and I like dorsal view showing the full wingspread. Overall, nice and sharp.

    Very good topside banking pose. Nice exposure. Could probably stand some additional sharpening IMO. Was this really shot at 1/200?

    I really like how the bird is slightly tilted toward you for the nice topside view.
    DOF looks good as well.
