I love it ! the light on the wings is great !

maybe a little more space on top ? and a square crop ?

Monique, I am packed and ready to go, I may not look like much but I am well behaved and can grow on you like a fungus, with no cure for it!!!

I think I rather like it just the way it is....very nice action. And...you got him squawking...nice job! It came out with good detail for a 50% crop, too.

I too like it as is. Nice wing position and the squawk is a plus.
Nicely done.

Nice action and good balance in the frame with judicious use of negative space.

I too like the crop and the placement in the frame. It would be nice if the head was higher and more seperated from the body but as it is clearly defined and with an open mouth, that is a minor nit. Way cool shot.
