I wanted more room on the right, but there was no canvass left. It was one of my sharper in flight images. I am still learning how to shoot birds in flight. Comments and critiques welcome.

Excellent, Jerry. The exposure looks fine and you have nice detail. A tad more room would have been nice, but it works quite well as posted.

Jerry, this is well done. The bird is tack sharp and I like the BG and the exposure. IMO there is plenty of room in front of the bird, to make it look like more room I would trim a bit off the left side. The feet can do with less to make the front look like more.

NIce job on the exposure, Jerry. The whites look great. I like the dark background, it really makes the bird pop. If you have it, I would be tempted to add a bit more room around the bird.
