This is so sharp and crisp Chris, I like a lot. Nice dark BG and good colour.
Bird looks to be flying a tad down, could be just the water that gives it that feeling, but I would think of a slight anti clockwise rotation?
Thanks for the comments.
Bibhav this were normal morning 8:05 am light conditions and I crop 30% of the original.
Yep Dave it does seem to fly down, looking at the tail it is diving down for landing but I'm not to sure about this myself.
I did a repost and it does look better flying straight :)

Great stuff Chris, was this at 400mm or pulled back some to a shorter length? Reason I ask is, this is wonderfully sharp, which this lens sometimes strugles with shot wide open and the longest zoom. You really nailed this one, I love everything about it.
Wow! Wicked good flight image. Killer wing position and SH. I love both versions. Try a small crop from the bottom so that the room above and below is equal....
