Peter, way too critical on yourself, that is an outstanding shot.

The way you have caught the wing at just the right angle and extension is extraordinary.

I think the diffuse nature of the light is an ideal counterpoint to the bird. Too often we see this type of shot against a searing blue sky whereas I think the background patterning creates a nice contrast to the bird while not creating a distraction. Does it get better than this?
