Red-tail Takeoff

I spotted this guy while driving and got a chance to stop, get out and snag this taking off shot. I know it’s kind’ve rump shot but I really like the spread of its tail and wings along with the interesting perch.

Specific Feedback Requested

I chose vertical, and a little tight hoping still leaves room for it to take off into. Yeah?

The crop works pretty well, Dave. I do like the nice look at the red tail and about the only way to get that is from the rear.
