    great pose and a nice BG, the bee adds a lot. details are a bit lacking though, especially in the head area...

    Hi Marc, knowing how quick these guys in the air, you have done extremely well to capture this flight pose. Love the full wingspread, and the show of colours. His catch a bonus, and agree, the head could have been better. I like the comp.

    Ditto the boys above, and I would also tone down the bee. I personally find there is a bit much room below and not enough above. Neat wide-open wings and very nice colours.

    Hi Mark:

    Love the colors of this capture from that stunning bird to the BG. I agree with Daniel that I would like to see more space above than below if you have it b/c he is flying upwards. The bee is a huge bonus!!!
