Jan:

Fantastic tail,like the claws, open bill, full down stroke and colors in BG.
The bird seems a bit soft, esp. the eye/head. I wonder where your focus point was set, as the tail seems a bit sharper. Certainly plenty of SS to freeze any motion.

From a composition standpoint, these long tailed birds are tough. I still think you need a bit more room in front, even though it will be very much a super pano crop.

Cheers

Randy
