A little harsh in the lighting and a few distractions but I'm impressed that you got it in flight and a good reflection too.! Kudos for that, might crop it at the top down passed the white spot on the 'zing' point top LHS. Will, IMO, help bring more focus to the subject.

Kind regards,

Shame about the messy background as it has totally obscured the BBC's wings and as mentioned the lighting is a bit harsh. Other than that very nice :smile:

Nits mentioned, but you did a very could job capturing it in flight.

Technically a well accomplished shot, but as you say, that twig in the background...

minor nits mentioned Ian but a nice shot all the same. Not an easy shot to take.
