This was taken in the last 10 minutes of light on top of a small local mountain. the background is a stormcloud that went south of me so I was able to stay dry.

Superb look at the near-wing undertail detail and I do not mind the position of the far wing at all. Sorry Bill :) The storm cloud is ideal.

Sunlit subjects against storm clouds is always a bonus situation! I could go for a bit more room above for the highest feather tip, but very nice overall.
