Birds do not pose for you to get the best shot. It's just shoot and hope that 1 out of 100 is o.k.

...Actually some times it feels like they are. But with finicky subjects that move quick...next time zoom out a bit more and make sure to get the composition first. You can always crop back down with all those megapixels you have to play with.
nice capture of a show of strength. great exposure in direct sunlight. the composition feels off to me with the piece of the wing missing on the left and then all that room on the right
