You handled poor angled and slightly harsh light well. Love the view of the face. The tree is too prominent in the frame to be OOF. TFS

ps
Love that crest...

Thanks David, nice critique.
It was not harsh light, just side light, 9 am.
Not much I can do about OOF tree, I think the bird is big enough in the frame to overcome that but
that is a fair assessment.
They are a prize in my world, a flight shot is on my wish list/agenda.
