Very nice, Dick.

I do see a sharpening halo, but you have to look for it.

A little tight and subject too centered for my taste. I agree on the over sharpening part already commented by Jim ...
Nice flight shot otherwise, Dick!

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that there is a slight halo which, since I shoot RAW, can easily be adjusted as can the positioning. Sharpening is often tricky and the flip side in this case could possibly be an undersharpened image.

Lovely shot, Dick. More room in front would help the composition.

Although less centered might make the composition a little better, the wing position and avoidance of large shadow areas make this a very nice image.

Nice flight shot -- I agree with a bit of room in the front.
What is that black speck on the left edge.
