I like the wing tips spanning corner to corner. It looks like this might have been cropped a little too much, and you're losing some detail. It also looks like his right eye (left in the photo), was dodged a too much.

Look at that expression! Coming right for us, nice. Technicals are lacking, it is grainy and doesn't seem to be in perfect focus. But you captured a bird in flight and that is a plus.

Doesn't quite pop off the frame with sharpness, perhaps too much cropping?

Great composition, great focus, great angles, great crop- need I go on? okay then... great backdrop, great simplicity, blah blah blah- you get the point.

Good job on this capture, I am sure it was tough to get. I think there could be a little more clarity on the face.

Heh! Good title - I'm sure birds everywhere were wondering what the heck was going on. Pretty good capture of this guy - to truly excel, he'd need to be a bit sharper and ideally have some texture to the sky behind. I do like the light through the wings - that's always neat to see.

Very nice capture, his face on the left side is a little funny though. Could well be my monitor. Fabulous in flight capture though and good crop.8
