Andrea, This image has all the elements of a great shot (exposure, sharpness and composition), what I like is flight shots and this pose showing the back of the bird in flight is my favorite. This shot has what I like and plus it is a bird I have not seen before. Thank you for posting.

I like the wing span, tail feathers spread out and the eye contact. Good detail on the larger version, wonderful flight shot, way to go.
