Very angelic! I'd love to see a little detail in the eye - very difficult with these.

Elegant birds when seen in flight like this. Good one.

A perfect subject for this sky colouring Craig.

Well caught.

Lovely posture. Whites have held really nicely against a white background. Works well indeed. :toast:

Works well indeed. Great wing position and nicely composed.

great pose, a shame the eye isn't visible but maybe it is at higher res.

Like others, I would like to see the eye. However, that is very often difficult to bring out well in this species. I do like the slight blur at the wing tips.

Very nice pose and well taken but the poor conditions have rather spoilt the shot, it happens.

I really rather like this shot Craig; especially its monotone effect. I think that aside from the eye, which always helps, that some enhancement to the reds would pay off and add a focus to the shot that is slightly lacking.
