I would have loved image with complete wings. the right wing which is on our left of the screen is in focus but is cut off. The left wing which is on the right side of the image is out of focus as the focus is on the perch. f5.6 aperture has been used. With the 420mm focal length the depth of field is obviously less and not going to cover the wings. If this is not a big crop then bumping up the ISO and using a narrow aperture would have been good. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Nice take off pose. Good details in the eye. Were you trying a vertical portrait, when it suddenly decided to take off? Thanks for sharing.
