What a handsome falcon! Nice colors/exposure. I might crop tighter if it's not a big crop now, to focus more on the bird.

The perch is not the most attractive, but the bird is. Excellent pose captured.

[Robert Holguin]

Great shot.
I really like the pose and the comp.
Very nice light too.
Well done.

The details of the bird is shown very well on a well exposed image. Like the dark bg making the falcon standout.

Very nice bird, beautiful colors, sharpness. BG is just a touch busy. But overall a very nice image. Loi

Very nice, soft, picture. lovely pose of the falcon as well.

Awesome subject, perch, pose. Too bad the BG was not farther away to give you a better smoothed-out BG.

[Jim Thomas]

Beautiful. I like the crop as is but would like to see some smoothing on BG as it's a bit lumpy.
