    Rudi:

    Excellent timing, soft light, nice sense of the environment without overpowering the bird.

    Sharp and well exposed. He is angling a bit away from us.

    I could see a sliver more room above if you have it.

    Cheers

    Great BIF shot. Love how you captured him launching off from the perch. Nice wing blur in the tips, gives a nice sense of motion.
