Nice shot, my only quibbles are:

1. Seems a little dark.
2. Prefer to see part of the right hand side of the empty space cropped out for greater balance.

Cheers

Is this better..... just did a quick fix in NX....... I like space around my subjects, it gives the shot some depth, as does the now dark right hand side,

The second photo is much better as[Reschsmoth]suggested too much space on the right. IMHO it should always be more space in front of a subject, especially a moving subject , as in MOVING INTO...or in your case FLYING INTO...
It's a nice photo though :D
Cheers NeoN

Really great shot, and not an easy one to get either. Love his legs all stretched out :)
