Isolating an individual from a flock of c.1500 birds was the hard bit

Beautiful pose captured,stunning birds these are I think you just may need a tad more USM to the bird as he looks a tad soft.Love the image though

Minor nit covered but a lovely action shot and excellent composition

Great action and very well caught Michael,

I wonder if this might look good in landscape format, if you have some more canvas in front of the bird.

Cheers

Nit covered, but you did well to isolate this single bird.

Pretty stunning capture really and if you have a little more canvas all the better.. but very well done indeed.
