Red-shoulder Flyby

I was shooting this guy perched yesterday morning and got lucky with its flight path when it finally flew. This is one of several grabs I got as it cruised by.

Specific Feedback Requested

Does the cropping work?

Hi Dave
I like the framing, wind positioning and detail. The Red-shoulder certainly determined to get some where. Nice work.

Nice wing position and lighting, Dave. I like the partly cloudy sky in the background.

Dave,

Nicely done and the clouds go well with this high altitude flyer.
Pose and wing position are excellent…Jim

Well done. Nice wing down pose flying by. The crop works altho you could have a bit more room. You could even level the hawk if you wanted although I am not sure that would make an improvement.
I do wonder about under the far wing and the tail if there is a bit of a green tinge. You would be a better judge as to what that area should look like.
Nice sky in bg.
