Nice take off pose. Looks like a fighter jet taking off :). The low angle enhances the image. Thanks for sharing.

Take off looks cool. The tail feathers pointed up looks nice. It is not easy for the camera to immediately refocus when the bird takes off directly towards you. I guess the ISO 160 is due to the large crop. Else, I would have preferred to bump it up and get slightly more depth of field as well as more shutter speed. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
