I was pleased with the shot in one way, but it looks almost artificial with the bird exactly side on and the wing fully raised - both pretty much by chance I promise!

I just want to say I really love your pictures, especially the recent picture of a blackbird eating berries! Thanks for consistently sharing!
Well I enjoy the feeling of sharing, so we all win, thank you!
Birds of prey are too cool. Nice shot.
great shot…looks like a painting.
I was messing with the luminance curve and (quite intentionally) threw away a lot of sky detail doing so as the brightness of the sky is brighter than any part of the bird. That way, I get more tonal variation in the bird, but it does rather isolate the bird.
