Cracking shot Robert, the large version really is to be recommended. Nice to see the cloud detail and just enough blur in the wings to convey movement. Only minor nit is the crop: I'm not sure if this is full-frame, but I think a little more room above the bird and a little less below would work better.

Can't decide an alternative crop. Fine as is anyway but maybe try same position but bird a bit bigger ?
At least theres no motion blur !!
