    An impressive image! Fantastic pose and action, nice colours, detail and shooting angle. Challenging exposure control looks spot on to me. Would consider fixing the eye.

    Great angle, perfect exposure very nice flight image. As Ofer mentioned, the eye looks funny for some reason. Also, it would beconsider toclone out the brown from the top.

    Beautiful detail and sweet flight angle. I like the detail you've captured in it's chest and powerful legs. I agree about the eye.

    Hey Brendon, good angle here, and I like how the FE is looking to see where he's heading. Separated nicely from the water BG, and overall well exposed.

    Nice one! Another vote to rid the whitish circle in the pupil of the eye. From the far bank and the angle of the waves in the water I'm thinking this needs some CW rotation. If you rotate the original pre-cropped image, then crop as needed I think you'd end up with an even more dynamic pose with a neat semi-banking angle on the subject. Well done on the techs, and nice colours throughout.

    Hi Brendon, strong and dynamic image with good detail in the whites. Still on my wish list.

    Very nice. Image needs a bit of CW rotation. I like the ragged look of the feathers,

    The pupil in the eye could still go darker, but I love the rotation...the levelling made a big difference IMO. Nice repost!
