Really like the translucency of the feathers and the angle and inclusion of the sun. Composition isn't strong for me but overall, I like the image. 7

amazing shot... subject a bit dark and too bad you weren't able to capture the whole wing span. I like the picture though!

Beautiful detail on this bird!! I like the composition as well. I wish that maybe there was a bit more light so that we could catch some hint of color as well. The clarity of the feathers from underneath is just outstanding.

This is FANTASTIC! I am in awe of pictures like this where a beautiful bird is in graceful motion, and yet remains perfectly clear and focused in your photograph. The sun (or the moon - whichever it is) adds such a great touch, and the tones are beautiful! You REALLY did good! 10
