Eric,
you got a very nice flight shot. I like the wings position and how stands the "red button" out.
I can see a bit of noise under the wings.

Good flight shot: sharp, well exposed, good wing position.

I find it's always hard to get them parallel to the camera so well done on that. The image looks like it has a little too much contrast and there is some noise in the wings that I'd try to dial down.

Nice image. I have noticed in my own BCNH images that there seems to be an unusual amount of noise-every time. ?Something weird with the color of this bird? ISO is low so I would like to know your crop on this one.

Very nice - good pose and wing position, bright eye, and good detail in the feathers.

Wonderful detail, Eric, and an excellent wing position. I love the eye.
