Great hovering pose, Phil. I like the upturned primaries, translucent look of the flared tail and eye detail. You may be able to extract a little more detail in the dark areas under the wings.

Phil, liked this one a lot. Nice wing and tail spread. Face perfectly lit and excellent sharpness.

[Arthur Morris]

Quite sweet and well done as above. A linear burn on the talons would improve this.

[Laura Stiefel]

These are such beautiful birds and this shot does an excellent job of showing off the gorgeous eye.

I love this pose with the upturned wings and splayed feet and tail. I also like Artie's suggestion for toning down the feet.
