Daniel, great exposure and detail. My only nit is to not have him so centered. Taking a bit off the left help with that. You guys are tearing it up over there with theses wonderful flight shots. Keep them coming.

I am in agreement with Alan, here. Lovely flight shot, a slight crop would improve the composition, in my opinion. Great position in the wings caught here, nice shot!

This is excellent as posted. Alan's crop suggestion would strengthen the composition, IMO. A little off the left with a corresponding amount off the top to maintain 35mm proportions.

Very nice!!

Excellent diagonal wing position and I like the head held up like this. I agree with the crop suggestions.
