Hi John,
Fantastic! Great pose and sharpness. The only thing I'd ask for is a bit more room in front, but that's a minor nit on a great image. Nice work!

A little more room for the bird to fly into is also my only suggestion to an otherwise very excellent capture.

Is this full frame? If not, then you should probably back off on the crop and give the bird some room. Excellent flight shot, that's for sure!

Awesome flight shot, John! I agree with the others about some more space around the bird.

Super flight shot! They don't get any crisper than this one . I'm with Bob in that a little more room around the bird would benefit but it's not critical to the image. Excellent!

This is amazing. To my taste, the position of the bird in the frame is not an issue compared to the crispness, the behavior, the detail of the feathers and the eye contact and what I notice as a lovely subtle glow on the bird's underside. Simply superb. Congrats on EP.
