Brahminy In Flight

Managed to take this Brahminy soaring at Kent Ridge Park this evening.

I like the following 2 most:

This one is very nice. Its a pity that there's an overexposed spot to the right (left of its beak).

Similarly, the bright portion at its belly ruined this shot.

For both shots, I dun suppose you could have zoomed in any further? Personally, I think a larger subject in the frame would have benefited the overall composition, making for an even more captivating image.

All in all, I would say you have done a pretty good job. Not easy at all to get birds in flight.

Thanks Edmund for the comments. Yes cannot zoom as I was using prime lense, and it did not fly any closer. In fact the first and last pics were cropped from horizontal to vertical. The rest about 10%-20% cropping.
