Bad lighing, under exposed, too far and pouring rain -- I think the pose is worth a post; otherwise another almost great image

The composition is cool, almost like the bird is an extension of the branch he's taking off from. Ordinarily I'd like more room to the left of the bird but it seems to work ok because of how well he extends the branch. I like the grey bg.

What Cindy already commented ...
The way you captured the bird to look like an extension of the branch is great, Brian! :roll:

I like this but a bit of a halo from the shadow/highlight recovery tool I think. The wing position is great and the comp is quite dynamic.

Nice timing to get this take off moment Brian, you have covered your own critique here, but still definitely worthy of posting and perhaps you have been too harsh on yourself!!
