Raven take-off

Finally it was a Raven and not a crow. Happy to see my first Raven. I like how the backlight illuminated his wing and tail feathers. I am posting this for review as I don't like the road distraction on the left or the bird shadow. I tried cropping just the bird and working that end but before I do that for this venue I would like some suggestions which would be very much appreciated.
