John: Nice flight image. All the techs looks great and a nice sharp image. The only thing I'd like is a bit more room in front of the Avocet.

Well done ! I particularly like the BG - (the hills of Antelope Island perhaps?) - and great to see that the famous bill is well visible ! Congrats ! Hans

Hey John, I know from experience it isn't easy to get these birds in full flight and I think you've done a fine job here. Exposure looks good and I like the look at the beak and feet. Personally I'd place the bird a little further left in the frame if it could be managed.

Great shot, nice wing position. As noted a bit more room on the right would be nice.
