I like the wings up running pose. The bird's head is turned away. It looks as if the white are way beyond hot.... That should not be caused by JPEG compression as far as I understand it.

Ed, I think you may want to re-work this one, somewhere in the process of making the jpeg for posting, something happened that made the neck hot, if it's not in the print. With 5000 as a shutter speed, and ISO 320, even at f/4 I believe you didn't burn it.
