    I like the water color but the bird is sort of lost in between as it's not really lit well and it's not a silhouette either.

    I wish that the head was at least parallel to the viewer and not looking away.

    Looks like some CW rotation is needed and I find all of the spectral highlights distracting.

    I like the captured action and light. I might make it a silhouette by darkening the bird entirely.

    Love the pose and the action captured. Either a silhouette or lots of flash to light the shadowed side would have been more pleasing. Thanks a ton for your membership support.
