Layton:

Very nicely captured. Good eye contact with both.
Well exposed. It is almost like there is a shadow on the primaries of the nearer wing.
I might consider a 20% crop of the free space above and a sliver more canvas to the right.

Well timed!

Very Nice Photo! I would either crop or re-crop giving more room to the right and crop in from bottom. :)

[Doug Brown]

You nailed the exposure, and your sharpness is excellent. I love the peekaboo eye. Agree about a recrop; but I would also add a sliver of canvas on the left.

[Bill Dix]

Great flight shot, with the breakfast as a bonus. Nice and sharp with good wing position -- a nanosecond earlier might have shown a bit more of the head, but great that you got the eye to show. Agree with a slivver more on the left, more space on the right, and some off the bottom.

[Sid Garige]

Great action well captured Layton.
