You seem to have caught the moment well, Joe. Tt just looks like a bit more brightness wouldn't hurt; at least on my monitor.
Nice one.

Works for me, I particularly like the small droplets flying of the wings, nicely captured.

Nice capture - perhaps a little mid tone levels adjust would make it "pop" that bit more.

A well caught moment of action Joe, Nice & sharp around the head & chest with that hint of movement in the wings.
