He was flying slightly away, but that doesn't bother me at all because that HA is killer! The techs looks great too!
Great image all around here. :)
Dale, spectacular. this kind of perfect head turn in flight shot is simply WOW. loved the crop a lot. I like the expsoure a lot too...but wondering if 1/3rd stop darker would look more dramatic. Well done and good luck in the contest.
Great detail Dale, colour is spot on with a clean BG, HA just pushes it...
Fraction less above, fraction more below?

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
Bummer he is flying away from you, but yeah, you have the head turn. Nice down stroke and great exposure, light. The nice BG that matches the color of the bird puts it even better for me. Very nice one.

Big Time Dale !!! This will do well also !!!
... for this contest there is no cropping :)
nice sharp image in good light
Sharp with loverly BKGR. Even with the look back head angle I would have preferred having the bird flying slightly towards you....
How was your ranch? Who's gonna win? :)
