Tough action to capture Gary. I might go for more of a pano look by taking a little off the left, top, and bottom. And I would try some additional S/H work. Thanks for posting!
Amazing that there is so much wing blur at a 1/1000s. I would try to get more details in the blacks and apply NR on the BG. The bird is too centered for my taste.
Awesome capture, Gary. Fantastic to get a flight shot so close to crossing your path. By nature they tend to run before flying and tend to flush as a last resort and then only heading away fast. Love the blurred primaries. Agree re trying to open up the shadows a bit more.
The dark areas can be lighten a bit to show more details and some levels adjustment would also work fine. The image needs some noise reduction job in the BG and a touch of warming up. I like the action a lot and the blurred wingtips too. Very good job!
