Excellent photo, you did a great job with timing and focus is great. Details in the bird are gorgeous and I like the way you have captured the tail a bit blurred and moving. Great photo, thanks for sharing.

The secret of good photography lies in its timing. You got it right.This is a nice bird shot of bird in flight. The sharpness is impressive. The light and composition are also fine .

WOW this is an awesome shot! Great light, love how you can see the details of the wing feathers. The contrast of the blue sky is great.

Nicely lit showing the birds delicate markings and plumage. He looks magnificent against the blue sky and you have positioned him well within the frame. The fast shutter speed paid off as the image is nice and crisp. Well done
