Taken earlier this year on a day that there was a very small amount of fine snow falling, in one of my favorite raptor area's.

beauty Mike, nice details for 500 iso., cool pose... and very interesting look!

Love the underwing details , curve of the primaries and eye contact Mike. Image looks a bit flat - I think just pulling in the light and dark points and a slight steepening of the curve thru the midtones punches up the image a bit and accentuates the falling snow.

I like the pose and eye contact. The color temperature looks a bit warm on my monitor.
