Hi Joel;

Beautiful bird with lovely muted background. Must be a thrill to capture one in flight.
Brightened eye would have been nice.
Hope your weather is nice.

Excellent capture!
Nice BG and sharp bird. The bird really pops!
If there was some more blue water at the bottom I might have tried to straighten it out by rotating the crop. Most certainly not a necessity. Very nice as is.

Joel, another beautiful shot, well framed, great exposure and PP, and nice background. I do agree with Guss, making the eye a little more visable would be an added bonus.

Good one Joel, I'm really enjoying the Bosque images. My only comment would be that the bird feels a bit tight in the frame, mostly would like to see more space on the right.

Wow, must be nice to get such a great flight shot of these beauties. I have yet to get one of these guys this close up. My only suggestion would be to tone down the feathers of the bird, thus bringing out a little more
texture to the feathers. Great capture in my book. :)
