I like the way the bird seems to be looking skyward and the exposure is wonderful. The pink on the face is a nice touch

Really nince Sandy. Composition and techs are great. What really caught my eye was the lighting showing off the bone, muscle, and tendon structures in the wing. I don't believe I've seen it shown so well caught before.

Sandy, I like to position with the wings up and the light playing on each one differently. Well exposed to show detail on the sunny as well as the shady side of the wings.

Very nice flight shot, well framed. Looks like you have some bits of greenish artifact up top (?)
