One of those once in a lifetime shots. Thought it was a string hanging from this bird, but when I transferred the picture to the computer I was amazed to see it was something you probably wouldn't like on your head by surprise.
My 200mm zoom couldn't quite reach, so I had to crop down quite a bit to get to this view. Little sharpening and level adjustment, that's all.

Man! I have seen so many of these it is not funny! But, yet it is!! :) That a heron or egret? Things must crap everytime that flap their wings. Good capture, nice DOF and focus. Good work.
7 - Mainly for the 'capture', including obvious 'wild' background 'view'/location, which likely meant more difficulty. Criticism; difficult with the 'opportunity' but sharper, more 'pop', etc. Perhaps a little more space 'above', for added balance, depending what you had to work with originally, of course. Up to 7 from 6, mainly for 'difficulty'.
"When you're a bird, the whole world is your bathroom!" Nice flight shot, color, timing, even interesting background. Good thing it wasn't directly overhead.
