Taken this weekend, I love the motion in the wings and the sharp body and eye.
300mm f4 at 1/400th of a sec at f4 ISO 320.
I hope you enjoy. There is a larger version in the avian galleries, and you can actually see water flying off his body.
I like what you also like, the sense of movement in the wings with the nice sharp features in the body and eye.

I agree with your take on the wing motion compared to the rest of the bird. Maybe a little more room on the left, otherwise nice.

A big stretch capture Wade.... I like it too! As mentioned good detail in the head and body and you were in the right spot to catch him at this viewing angle. Well done!

I just got to this one, Wade. The action is terrific, it really helps to make the image a captivating one.
