Alan i'm looking at the shading from the wing to the top of the breast was it fairly strong light? the image looks good and if you have any blown bits i can;t see them,very nice indeed.

Stunning flight shot Alan, the light reflected back under the wing is an added bonus......and a mucky bill too! No nits from me.

Nothing much wrong with that Alan. Well caught.

I think the harsh shadow mentioned previously has minimal impact on the overall image. There are so many positives in the picture that you notice first - Excellent in flight image.

Well done.

Simply put it all came together here, light or not...without that harsh light your shutter would not have been so fast either. Brilliant.
