Great eye contact and flight pose. Like the BG too. I might move the bird slightly to the right in the frame.

I like the muddy feet and the angle of flight. I wish there was a bit more light on the far wing. Beautiful IQ and BG,

Great pose. There is a little bit of detail hiding in the upper portion of the bird's right wing that you can extract if you want to using Shadows/Highlights in Photoshop.

thanks for comments here is a repost. I moved the bird to the right and extracted more details in the far wing.

Love the flight angle and wing position. BG works nicely with the bird. I would second Doug's suggestion of taking a bit off the right, adding same to the left. I might also wish for a little more detail in the shaded far wing.

Edit: Oops. You put up the repost just as I hit the send button. Repost is a great improvement. Love the image.

Original was good to start with, the tweaks on the repost finish it off beautifully.

The repost does improve an already fine image.
The BG really makes the bird stand out.
Very nice.
