Nice bird in flight image, Angela! I like the open beak and full wingspread. I think you should have a little more room for both wings, or at least the right wing

Love the image Angela. I like the open beak and the wing spread. While it seems a bit tight, I think it adds to the feeling of a wide wing span. Great job.

Very nice, Angela. Especially impressive work on the whites and blacks. Getting the black eye to show strongly in that black cap is always difficult.

Nice capture Angela. I of course would have liked to see a bit more room, but my guess is you could barely fit him in. I might however crop this to a pain if it were mine.

Nicely captured Angela. Love the spread of the wings and the open beak.

You certainly do some excellent work from the car window! Nice capture.

All the technical stuff looks spot-on Angela. I like to position birds in this scenario a bit higher than the midline in the frame, but that's just "me".
