Really nice Wayne. Love the position in the air and the very nice exposure. Wonderful detail in the larger version. Well done.

I don't always love blue skies, but in this case I think it really adds to an already strong bird image. Great detail! If I had to nit anything, I might crop just a bit off the left to get the bird off center.

Nice shot Wayne, I love the pose with a good head position and the spot on exposure. Merry Christmas and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the new year.

Great wingspread and the exposure is spot on. Good job processing as well as I don't see a halo against that blue background.

I like this very much Wayne. Great light and exposure on that well displayed topside with the head turned perfectly for us. Nice color in the sky and the bird is sharp. Well done.

Wayne
I saw this yesterday but didn't have time to comment. Love the pose, the wingspread and the wonderful sky background. Your exposure looks good on the whites with the exception of the leading edges of the wings and a few bright pixels on the top of the head, I think you could globally bring the exposure down -0.03 and that would resolve that issue easily. A very small issue on a lovely & appealing image.

Great shot, love the blue sky, looks like either he just launched or is preparing for a landing. Nice detail in the feathers.
