Taking off.  Any feelings about this type of avian image?

Neat pose, David.  I like the perch and background.  The wing position is really cool, but a better head turn would have been the icing on the cake.  Still a fine image.

A fine image, indeed, David.  I love the position of the bird, the perch, and the lovely background that makes the subject pop.  Very well done.

Very nice, but you have better. The wing position is not "ideal" and no eye contact.
Still, a keeper..
