A very nice image for sure Kerry!
Nice light under those wings and with and interesting facial look. I would try to desaturate the sky a tad! All in all I would love to have this one in my files! :)

nice image , very good placement of the subject
the exposure is superb
some cloud in the sky may have helped but we take what we get in wildlife

Kerry:

Very well lit, sharp, nice banking pose. Good job framing him so well in camera. Perhaps a sliver tight top and bottom.

I do agree, that a bit of cloud in bg would add some depth.

Cheers

superb pose,light and composition.good details.

nice wingspan with sharp details, I also wish there was something to add more interest in the BG. it could use some more NR and desaturation as is
