I like the light on the face and flight pose. Nice speci for your collection Ken.
Well timed for the take off Ken, and a species I havent seen before. Lots of space to fly into.
Fantastic-looking bird with a great take-off pose. I feel that there is too much room to the right. Also, I think the SS of 1/100sec was too slow, resulting in too much motion blur. The bird's body is also very dark -- perhaps you can bring up some detail with an S&H adjustment?

I like the nicely lit head and good eye contact. Wish for more detail on the body and would crop off the right and top.

nice bird, agree with Ofer, the blacks are blocked.

Thanks for the comments, I agree that the blacks look a bit too black, but they are extremely black, looks better in RAW and TIFF than JPEG. Just tried S/H something I rarely use and it really does not do a lot.
I also agree that the settings were not correct I should have upped the ISO and of course I posted the wrong S/S it was actually 1/1000, sorry about that
