Beautiful execution and you have done extremely good with the lens. IQ is good and so the calling pose with full wings up.

[arash_hazeghi]

excellent calling pose and dynamic posture

[Dumay de Boulle]

Very nice pose and love the open mouth..I quite like your choice of crop...Nice one!

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Open bill is what makes this one so compelling. Without that, am not sure it would have had much impact....well done on timing that. I like the wing position. Well done.

Sharp and a real screamer. The shadow of the near-wing on the far wing is a mild distracting. Otherwise first class all the way.
