Nice to see this species. The wing spread looks good. Seems it was basking in the sun. There is some noise, in the underparts? Thanks for sharing.

Nice image, great to see this bird. Where was this captured?

Nice Wing spread Pose.... Looks Beautiful.....
I agree with Mrudul... there is some noise... you could have used lesser ISO since light was good enough i think.... and also lesser aperture(5.6, 6.3) TFS...

I think the noise is because the image was underexposed and the crop is substantial. Dialing a positive exposure compensation would have helped better. When you are editing your image, just look at the histogram. While exposing you need to expose more to the right.
