Inspired by EJ's avian image portraits which always seem so clean and classic, I came up with my version... :)

Very kewl. The detail is great, the eye is perfect. I am always torn about the motion in the wings and in this image, I like it a lot!

Cheers,

Nice shot. I really like the motion blur in the wings. It gives a dynamic feel to the image. :)

Nice blur and good that you caught the face clear of the wing shadow.

Very nice. I like the light and the soft bg colors. Your crop is nice but maybe a bit more room on the right to look into if possible.

Excellent capture and a nice banking bird, more room in the front it's all that's missing for me, nice detail & colors, the BG speaks volumes about the habitat, looks very similar to Anhinga's, Congrats!! 8)

Cool shot. The background and the bit of blurr of the wings give this flight shot a nice feel.
Very well done.
