    Well, landing, not skipping, but I thought that's what it looked like.

    Hi Grace, I really like the 'striding' posture, and good to see the raised wings. Overall well exposed, sharp, and if anything, I would have moved him back to the left a tad.

    Grace, my favorite bird, in spite of it being (in my experience) a very fierce predator. You caught it in an engaging pose.

    Hi Grace,

    The pose makes this interesting / fun for me. I love the raised foot. I think the light is great and your exposure and sharpness appear very good. Thanks for sharing.

    Grace:

    Very nice, like the pose, both wings and foot, excellent exposure and sharpness. Great eye.
    I would like a sliver more room below if you have it.

    Cheers

    Great light, pose and details.
    I feel a bit tight, perhaps more room on the bottom.

    Very nice frozen action, he looks like a little puppet in a show :) Great EXP control and detail, bit more room at bottom would not hurt, love the duotone BG.

    I really like this one. The light and spread wings are great. I wouldn't mind a bit more room in front
