On the plus side is the hunched over pose as it prepares for take-off, nice head turn. Good POV and placement in the frame as well Joel.
On the negative side is the exposure with its blown highlights, and loss of shadow detail that stands out here.
Almost impossible to expose correctly with this hard light. .
Time of day and weather conditions will make or break a shot. Try shooting early when the sun's lower in the sky Joel.
Or light overcast will produce a more even exposure with its softer light..
Control the light, control the shot
