    Great lighting.Comp is a bit awkward.I think as the tail is so close to the top of frame,a bit has to come off the bottom to balance it up.

    Nice image - the back-lighting really works in this case. Agree with Geoff re some off the bottom

    Agree with Geoff L. I'd take some off the LHS too.

    Wow what a flexible bird looks to be doing the splits. Can be tough with back lighting but you have done well.

    I liked the pose and nice effect of back lit but have to agree about framing.
