Troy:
Excellent lighting on the bird, great pose. I like the framing. The waves establish the environment, but their tonalities are close enough to the bird that I find them mildly distracting.
I really like reds and love to see pictures of their antics.
Cheers

Beautiful light , exposure and pose pull this all together. Fine capture.
Very nice pose, exposure, and sharpness. Image seems a bit too yellow IMO.
Keep them coming!
like it troy thought they all left for the summer
I really like the wingspread and the forward motion of the bird. I find the image a bit washed out. Might add a couple of points of black or decrease the yellow. i can feel the wind blowing in his face!

Love the pose and the sharpness. The color does look a bit off but not sure which way.... Even with calibrated monitors everyone is seeing slightly different color.....

Looks like a nice early morning glow. The under wing light is great. I love to shoot these crazy guys. Nice job

excellent light pose and details, I would cool it down just a tad. Great!
