Hi Michael - slightly too big in the frame for me, and needs some sharpening but it's a nice pose in kind light - good one

I agree a bit more sharpening would make this pop but a very nicely taken shot that shows the feather patterning very well.

Some sharpening as mentioned to make the eye pop would make this a beauty. Its a great pose and the colours on the feathers are fantastic

As others have mentioned a little more sharpening is needed to do this justice. Otherwise a well-captured flight shot.

Nits covered Mick, so nice to get them without the wing tags.
