Well done Bill. This is looking good. Nice flight pose with good detail on the bird. Lovely HA with a nice look at the eye. Depending on what the rest of the perch looked like, I may include some more perch on the frame.

Oooh....this is nice Bill.
Great IQ, tack sharp, the eye looks awesome and the wingtips are nicely flared.
I love that the tail feathers are a bit ratty tatty as it shows "real life"!
I am OK with your crop but could see a version with a bit more perch.
Well done,
Gail

Nice Landing Pose.

I like the sharp Eye.

Good Image quality.

As stated, great feather detail and good capture of the concentration on the part of the bird. I'd like to see it pulled back some to see more of the perch, but either way a killer shot.
