Terrific shot Charlie, you can feel the speed. Good choice of f-stop to keep this guy sharp from wing to wing - love it!

Looks like he's on a training run to scare the heck out of all sorts of things. Don't think I've seen an image quite like this before. It certainly conveys speed if nothing else. Nice and sharp and well composed. Post more.

You got an amazing shot of this bird, you might be able to get a shot of a speeding bullet. Very well done Charlie !
