Michael, good flying posture with the full downstroke. I like the sharpness and detail, together with the overall colours.
Michael, Excellent sharp details. I love the down stroke wing position and the BG is fantastic.
Beautiful work, Michael.
The colors, focus, comp and BG add up to one fantastic photograph !
Great flight position in sweet light. Blacks are well shown and so is the color of the red bill. Well done overall.
This is just stellar...

+1 on what has been said. I also like the sharpness of the feathers on the closest wing - top flight!
What a pleasing image. Everything came together here: good exposure in sweet light, interesting species, beautiful blue background. I'd put that one on my wall.

Excellent sharpness and wing position, enjoyed looking, TFS

Hey Michael,
Had to check the too light/too dark black comments before I replied:D......but seriously......nailed it!!!! Pose/light/BG.....all great! tack on the the conditions at Nickerson......you crushed it out of the ballpark!!!
Congrats, NADA to Suggest here!!! SWEET!!!

Another great image from you Michael. It has a nice 3D feel to me, and the BG is lovely. Techs look spot on.
Killer wing position, d-o-f, SH, and exposure. Looks as if the 3rd primary at least on the near wing needs to be molted--note the color difference. Sweet BKGR as well. Yes, a grand slam for sure.

Wow, Michael. Stunning shot. TFS.
Thank you for all your comments.
Michael this is most impressive, the sharpness and light is breathtaking. A winner for sure!
Well done Michael! Love the sharpness and the wing position. The OC looks great against that BG.
