Meets the objective very nicely. The picture is very intersting in black and white, as the background doesnt draw your eye away from the subject as its brighter.

Black and white was a good choice for this photo, it makes you focus on the bird

Nicely captured. I like the position of the wings and the upward movement of the composition.

Great texture and sharpness. I find my head is compensating for the tilt. I do like the angles created and the strenght of the horizontal beak.
