Very good pose with a great wing spreading and nice sharpness. I see some muddy areas just around the black primaries at the wing tips and over the dry plants at the left of the frame, probably due to processing.

Cool wingspread Loukie. Something funky going on around the edges of the wings, especially the primaries and the left side of the cliff edge - looks like some serious cloning or patching with the rock in front of the bird being repeated on the left of the image and repeated iterations of the plants in that area.

Cool pose and wing position. How did you sharpen? The mentioned artifacts around the primaries look as if you used the magnetic lasso tool. Should be easy to fix.

Agree with comments but what a cool image !!! Sure like these birds and the perspective your photographing from !!!!
