Super take-off pose and the sharpness looks spot on. Good feather detail is there and the bird is nicely isolated from the BG, what more could you want.

Top shot, Graeme.

Love the take off pose, but especially love the color of your bird against the dark BG. I think this image would pop more with a change in composition. I would take the bird out of the middle by cropping from the left and maybe a tad on the top.
