Tobie:
Wonderful take off pose, display of red/orange on wings.
Wish the light angle had been a bit more over your right shoulder to give better illumination to the body and tail. I think the sun angle tends to be even more important for dark birds, as they need some light to help show much detail.
The crop does give the image a bit of a static feel, as do the strong vertical lines, but it sounds like you had not choice.
Cheers
Randy

Hi Tobie, great extended wing position, and I like how you have captured the moment of the feet just about to lift off the perch. Yep, sometimes we have to crop tighter to suit an undesirable BG.

Great take-off moment, and I love the red wings. The sun wasn't your friend on this one, and the head seems a little soft or motion-blurred.

Impressive wings with those orange primaries. Good exposure on the subject, but that meant that the bright sunlit perch got blown. I agree the head is soft from subject movement (notice how sharp the feet are in comparison). Your reflexes were good it getting the fast take off!

very nice take off. the BG isn't ideal here and the harsh light didn't help you either, as mentioned the head shows motion blur
