Well done Joe, the detail on the head is spot on. Fab flight shot

Nice flight shot in the kind of harsh light, you handled it well.
Is this a young bird? I don't know your species, hence the Q.
Good details and framing is pretty good (bit tight).
Well done and TFS!

Excellent flight work Joseph. Sharp throughout and exposure well handled.

Really nice image! I like the flight pose, light (just enough hitting the face), colours, and clouds in the sky. I'd have preferred the subject lower in the frame though.
