I like the wing position and golden hour lighting. The body and head angles are good and strong. I think it's in focus, but it looks slightly soft to me as I blow it up. I have no idea what's going on there, but it's the only negative.

Oh, this is a really common stock pose and the background being totally blue just reinforces that. It's a very good image, but just does not pop. Maybe some others can be more specific. Maybe a tighter crop is what I'd like to see.

Another vote on tighter crop with lesser room behind the bird.
Exposure is spot on.

nice flight, would be ideal to get one with wings fully down or up against a habitat BG.

Excellent pic. Well exposed, I really the flight pose. Agree on the crop. Well done.

[James Salywoda]

Excellent wing position and composition.
