    Very nice flight shot Joe. I like the wing position and the head angle. The clean BG is also nice. Good techs too.

    Good sharp head, ideally I would have preferred a broader wing-spread.

    Hi Joe ... nice work in capturing this image .
    Looking at the pose of the bird ... i think this is crying for portrait rather than landscape crop .
    Image is lacking IQ , as i think the head is not really sharp .... at least here on my screen . Is this a rather large crop ? or where is the IQ lost ?

    Hi Andreas, thank you for viewing and commenting. Yahhh, I tried to get greedy. Looking at the master file without a crop it was a large crop.
