Love the detail you've managed to capture in the black feathers Angela, as well as the good separation between the eye and surrounding areas, very nicely done!

Nice lookat the topside Angela. If you have it, I would suggestion just a teeny bit more room on the left.

Wow, I missed this beauty! Excellent detail, great wing position, good eye and very nice to catch the topside of these fast ones.
