Daniel,

This has it all. Great wing spread, spread tail feathers, well lit under wings and wonderful diagonal orientation. Is this cropped?

Jim
Enjoy viewing

The lighting is good on this (maybe a touch bright on the head) and the bird's position is great! This is a really excellent capture.

Very nice shot. I'm glad you get to see some clear sky once in a while. :D

Please try and remember that posts are once every other day (48 hours) in this gallery, not once every day. (24 hours) :)

Daniel, plese read your critiques in your previous photos where it is pointed out that you can only post once every 48 hours in the bird forum. You continue to violate this.

That said, this is a very nice photograph but please wait two days before posting again.

NEAT flight shot of a bird I do not know! I like this . . . wondering if it's been cropped. If so, it's nicely sharp. One suggestion for sharpening, if you selected the bird and an "inverse" function, you might want to consider setting the tolerance to a lower number as it appears some of the wing has been "webbed", i.e, the primary wing feathers have a scalloped appearance where they overlap. It's a small point and not meant as a photographic nit, that's for sure. 8)

The little head twist is nice. I think I'd like it more a little less tight in the frame. Impressive detail considering the crop.
