Good job on this one. Terrific wing position, leg position, color, and detail. I really like the shadow.

Wonderful dynamic pose, Allen. I really like the minimal elements and how you have composed the image.

Allen, this is really an attractive image with lots going for it. The running pose (takeoff I presume), the wing position, the shadow, the animated feet, all are great. I especially like the simplicity and beautiful primary colors. A fine image with excellent timing.

Gorgeous image, Allen. I love the pose and shadow. I do think the image might work even better with a little cropped off both sides.

This is a great shot, Allen. I like everything about it. The low point of view really made this shot exceptional.

Very nice action capture, Allen! Great clarity and color plus I like the clean and simple background. The shadow is a nice bonus. The only thing I could suggest would be a crop on the left and top to put the Bird more on the left side, running into the frame.
