Jody- Great tail and wing feather capture. It looks to me like you might have done some blurring on the backround,if so I would pull back off on some of that. A little texture there, especially lower in the picture, would provide more perspective, thereby creating more depth. Just doesn't look natural enough to me. At first I wasn't sure about the bird position in the frame but its growing on me. Tough shot to capture--my compliments....

My day starts with a smile when I see the wonderful images posted at NSN. This little fellow is so hard to get in flight, you did beautifully Jody! Love the light and detail in the wings. :)
