Buzzard in Flight

I was pleased with the shot in one way, but it looks almost artificial with the bird exactly side on and the wing fully raised - both pretty much by chance I promise!

I was messing with the luminance curve and (quite intentionally) threw away a lot of sky detail doing so as the brightness of the sky is brighter than any part of the bird. That way, I get more tonal variation in the bird, but it does rather isolate the bird.
