Amazing shot!!!

I advise you to see click on it to enlarge it, only then do you see the detail!
I often see these on the way to Oxford and along the A40. So many pairs, and they are so tame as well.

This is a magnificent capture which I am sure you are very proud of!

Have you lightened up the underside of the bird as you say you have worked on it a bit?

Excellent

Thanks for all the comments

Paul, yes you are correct, a combination of lightening up the underside and darkening the sky, also a little re-orientation in the cropping process
