Difficult to get a good shot of a bird directly overhead -- this bird seems soft on my monitor and too centered.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the wing position and that we can see the eye well and wish the angle were less steep.

thank you for your sugestion and appreciations; the photo is not a good one but is a very difficult subject.
