Looks very nice Cheryl, excellent exposure and colors.
Great BG, comp, and details & too..
This bird looks so cool in flight with those extremely long pink legs back there

Well done!

Wonderful composition Cheryl with perfect angle on the head and I love the way you've captured the light so well on it's wings; makes me want to reach out at stroke the black velvety texture :^)

Great shot, very well done :^)

Tough to catch these quick guys in flight - nice!
Good pose and angle of flight, nice BG.
You even got some eye colour!
Cool!

Very nice - I'd be happy to have this in my files. Looks like you were able to catch this bird in a glide.

Terrific flight shot. I echo the earlier positive comments about eye contact, wing position, and BG.
