    Light and eye contact look good. I might sharpen the bird more and wish the wings were all the way up or down.

    Mark VI? You are so ahead of your time. :)

    Sorry that will be the model that takes the picture whether your there or not and rearranges the poses to suit.

    I can just imagine it having just lept from a diving board, with the pool not too far below! Nice warm light and tones throughout. Sharpness and exposure look good. The blurring looks alright too as I wouldn't have guessed it was done via post processing.

    Lovely colours throughout the image, and well captured between the foliage. If anything, I would remove the foliage ULC.

    Very nice job on the post-processing great light and beautiful bird. Agree on the wing position, but still very nice image. TFS.
