I like the bird's flight position Simon. Although the large crop is evident in the level of detail in the bird, it still looks really nice.

Excellent inflight angle capture. Your larger photo is really nice and shows great eye and plumage detail. Well done Simon!

Nice flight shot, Simon. I like the banking angle with the sing tops showing.

Nice view of the wing. Like the blue eye ring matching the skin. Large crop has lost some detail, but still a fine image.

Very nice flight shot, Simon. I really like the banking turn and great eye contact. Looks sharp wingtip to wingtip.

excellent detail, especially with the large crop, and a wonderful in flight pose.
