Great shot, crop works very well and I like the movement in the wings!

The background is very complimentary. Clever balance of sharp and blur too

Sharp where it needs to be and good sense of movement. Just to tight in the frame, maybe a bit more space top, bottom (very minor) and LHS.. Nicely done.

Lovely image. DOF is great and the background gradation is very nice.

Nice one Phil, you don't see too many of these flight shots, nice light too.

superb image. I think they are really graceful birds and you have shown that really well, i like the composition and the detail in the feathers is excellent

very nice Phil, nice lighting and lovely and sharp. A slight shame the head is just turning away a little but a very minor nit.

A very nice flight shot and the details in the black feathers is spot on.
