Captured this Redhead hen coming in for a landing. I like the nice view of the feet and the somewhat ackward look of this.

Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

Sweet flight shot, Jerry. Superb eye contact and I like the flight position and framing.

Good eye contact and a nicely blurred BG. I like the blur of the wing tips, suggesting movement. Good detail elsewhere, although the head is just a small bit blurred. cool

Nice detail and sharpness on this one Jerry. I don't see the blury head Phil mentioned, it looks sharp to me....especially when viewing the large version. I also like the angle of the hen coming at you. I have had exactly zero flight opportunities of Redheads (we don't get many of them), so I am very envious!

Nice flight shot. I like the wing position, sharpness and the layered background. I would consider moving the hen up in the frame if you have the room. Very nice.
