    Maybe this unusual flying posture will make this a little better than the normal side on shot. Taken last weekend.

    Lots to like here! The left foot seems lost in the shadows. Other than that, exposure is very well controlled, good detail in the blacks. It's sharp and I like the eye contact.

    You've managed to make what appears to be a gangly bird look elegant. Very nice.

    Hi Stewart,
    I love the pose that you have managed to capture here - beautiful wing position and enviable light :)
    I love this as presented.
    Are you enjoying the World Cup? Seems like quite an open competition this time...shame about our goalie :eek:
    Best,
    Nicki

    Congrats on a beautiful shot. I like the sharpness, wing downstroke composition, and detail of big underwing. Black head has lots of detail, not too dark. Not easy to get the whites and blacks balanced with detail in both. No noise problem that I can see so I wonder if you did noise reduction--I use a Canon 50D like this shot.
    Again, great shot!

    Interesting pose and the shadow of the face in the wings add to the feeling.
    Lovely whites and thanks for sharing.
