Looks like you caught a pretty nice moment. Sharpness looks pretty good on the bird. Could hope for a better angle but sometimes you get what you can get.

The image looks over saturated by quite a bit. It feels pretty unnatural with the current presentation.

Nice timing with good sharpness where it counts, I like this overall Wayne.
Some technical issues as Keith has pointed out.
Would be great if you could post your settings with this

nice position capture. the sky looks too blue to me. maybe the bird would be more pleasing if the blue were toned downjust a little. really sharp image.

Thanks for the comments. It was shot at ISO 200, F8, 1/1000 sec with a pol. filter. It was taken around noon. I did boost the contrast a little in NIK, maybe a little to much. I appreciate the comments.

Great take-off pose, Wayne. The bird seems a bit soft and the whole image looks oversaturated to my eye. I think I'd back off quite a bit.

Great action pose. However, I agree with the other comments regarding the saturation level on the pic.
