never saw a pileate in flight like that great capture!
Cool shot. Nothing to add.

Excellent sharpness and wing positions, love to get one of these guys in flight! BTW, looks like part of the BG mask bled into the neck area (between right wing and neck). TFS

Hi Jim,
I remarkable image with a amazing wing spread; which of course provides us a great view of the underside of the bird.. In my opinion, you captured the bird just at the right moment to yield a good head angle. The bird is nice and sharp with good detail throughout.
I was wondering if a slight increase in contrast might help add a little pop to the bird.
Thanks for sharing.
