The image is too blurred for my taste. May be it is the way it was scanned. I can also understand that it is hard to handle a 420mm lens with a dynamic subject like this. What I like about the subject is its composition and the positioning of the bird in the frame. The only objection I have is the clipped tip of the wing and open sky at the top which could have accommodated the entire subject. Thanks for sharing it with us.

A gorgeous bird in a wonderful position. Unfortunately the face is lost in shadow and one wing tip hit the picture's edge. Nevertheless a worthy posting.
