.... you'll be pleased to know! Maybe one more :wink:

Like the lighting and the detail but the pose is a bit awkward I reckon.

Comments appreciated

I don't think it looks 'uncomfortable' or 'awkward' at all! I really like this a lot. Ok so the left wing could be more pronounced in shape but the right wing more than makes the image, perfect lighting, focus etc. I like the comp and background also. Excellent and I can't wait to get the chance to have a go myself :smile:

A touch cramped in the frame for my liking - it is an "American" crop where big is considered best. I would have preferred a bit more room to give an indication of the flight.

If the image is full frame it is very easy to extend the canvas and extend in with these blue sky backgrounds, eg the tail edge and upper wing edge where the bird is particularly tight in frame

I like the shot very much too, the portrait format seems well suited to this one.
