    Great pose, sharpness and exposure.

    I'd like to see the subject higher in the frame, especially whereas it is angled downward.

    The green look a bit too over saturated and bright for my eyes.

    This is really sharp for hand-held, you must have a steadier grip than me.

    I would also like more space at the bottom.

    Thanks Jim & Ken.. BPN is really a great place for those who are serious about improving their skills. Here comes the repost with more space below and in-front of the bird. Does this look better ?

    Subbu, great repost, and having captured a few take off's myself, I can say great timing. Good wing position, and although you were there, I would maybe desat the greens a tad.
