Joel, I like the coloring of this particular bird. Sharpness looks real good. Maybe a little less centered comp or more of a pano presentation would work as well. Just a thought.

Nice image. I like the detail in the head and eye area. I also like the crop you have chosen. There is still ample room in front of the bird.

Joel,
Well done for handheld. The white sky make the image pop.

I really like the flight position and the open beak. Great detail too. :toast:

This works well for me as you've presented it Joel. I agree with Jim that you got great DOF at f/4 here. I like the open beak and sharpness.

Great handheld work Joel, the bird stands out well with this BG.
I like the POV and this comp works fine for me :toast:
