Not as sharp as I would like, but it was at 1/200 in the shade. I didn't expect him to fly almost straight at me.

This is beautifully done. Just sharp enough on the face at 1/200 sec. to work well.

The only thing I don't like is the perfectly centered catch light in the pupil. Apart from that holy cow what an image!! The wing blurs are terrific with lots of impact.
I would like to see the head just a touch sharper, love everything else about this. Great composition & light.The intense blur in the wings really adds to this. I think the image would be over the top if the bird had a vole in it's beak instead of a pet shop mouse.
