Hi Dave, pin sharp detail and exposure from the near underwing, and love the landing posture. The space in front doesnt bother me, but I would like to see a little more on the LHS.
Looks great for all the reasons mentioned above. I would crop a bit off the bottom as that light area drags the viewer's eye down a bit. Is this full frame?

lovely pose, exposure and pose Dave. agree with some space needed behind but not that big of a bother, and I'm with Artie on cropping some from the bottom...
Thanks to all for looking and for comments.
Arthur this is a bit more than full frame. I added a bit top, and right. (You may be able to see the stretch marks:D)
I also took a tad off the left to move the bird off centre. I know that most are asking for more space behind the wing but that moves the bird more central and this looked better to my eye. I agree a bit more of a pano crop with some off the bottom cam work well.
