I made this last year at a local pond close to Kempton Park
Although the BG is a bit busy I quite like the banking pose
Excellent image Chris, nice and sharp, like the wing detail particularly the visible spur. I too think the background is great and compliments the image.
Chris, I am liking the Bg here. Although busy, subject separation is nice and top-to-bottom it is evenly blurred. Perfect bird angle here and terrific blacks. A slightly wider crop might also work.
