    though.

    Great light, nice sharpness, and good wing position. Head is turned slightly away, but it's still a keeper. I might move the bird down slightly in the frame.

    James, I like the sharp details and clear eye. Nice composition with the wings up.

    Sweet light James, and with a great flying posture. I like the sharp detail, and agree moving him down a tad will work.

    Sharp, well lit, and an unusual opportunity.

    Love the pose and eye contact (it's fine by me). Nice light too James. An impressive image if you asked me. :)
