The objective of the shoot is met very nicely. The bird taking up the whole photo guides your eye all the way across.

Cool bird. Nice job tracking with it and getting some great motion blur. It's too bad that the sharpness of the body (which is fantastic) does not extend to the head.

Nice color. Really like how sharp the wing is but think it would be a better photo if the head were more in focus.
