You'd nailed this one Amy. Very sharp on the head where it needed to be. Beautiful flight pose and the slight head turn adds interestingness.

Fantastic!  With my new(ish - to me,) MkIV, I'm trying to get a handle on flight photography, and have some wonderful opportunities with these guys - nothing like this to show for it!
