Tried to clone out that curved reed right behind the wings but it looked worse than leaving it in.

Great detail on the blacks with the bright sun here Dan, and a really nice pose. I like this one a lot, including the BG, although if you could even clone out the curving part closest to the bird it would help a little. Still great as is.

Nice capture, I like the timing and your focus is spot on. Sounds like when CS5 arrives you will have no trouble with the reed!

Dan, this is not too bad for such a large crop and at 1/1000s. In the larger version the bird is not quite tack sharp, so it looks like your panning was off just a very small bit. The exposure of the blacks looks great. The far red shoulder patch looks a little bright. The curving reed does not bother me at all.
