I am kicking myself now I have seen the focal length, I could have gotten the subject a little larger in the frame.
All C&C welcome.

Nailed it Jon! Razor sharp from head to tail, nice light and a clean background - excellent work!

Thanks Steve, I had better not say how many frames were taken to obtain this image!!

Nice work, Jonathan. I know from trying, not the easiest to capture. Sharp details, wing blur showing motion, clean background. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice Jon! Excellent sharpness and the light is great.
