I'm going to be hammered for this I am sure, because it looks like I edited it with a program, when in fact this is straight out of camera (minus crop, resize, curves) I had others, but this one called out to me, and so I use it, and use it with pride, because I love to look at photography more artistically than technically (yes I still follow rules)
It was very overcast, which certainly worked here to give this that painterly feeling while I was panning. I also enjoy his subtle shadow along the water showing just how low he was flying.

Great attempt at panning but the bird wins. Admittedly it shows speed and energy as is, but the eye always tries to find a sharp point somewhere in an image - this has none.
