    I like your timing here, and the wing positions are excellent. Good comp - some may like less at left but I like it as is. Too bad it was looking away, and I find the contrast a bit strong (at least for the darks as they are very black)

    Hi Chris, great timing, and I like the leaning take off posture. I particularly like the detail around the head and eye, and overall nice and sharp. Lovely clear blue sky for a autumn BG.

    Really nice underwing detail agree with the contrast being a bit strong and the HA
