Scott, I do like it (especially the nicely extended far wing and spread out tail) but there are a few "flaws" that would be worth going back to this captive guy to work on: the HA being the first and most noticeable one, then the harsh light and angle hasn't played you any favors creating a large shadow across the falcon, and lastly the steep angle is not the most advantageous. 1/1000s. looks like it was enough to properly freeze the action :-)

Yes, Daniel nailed the major problems: the shaded underwing and the poor head angle. Also, the blues are too electric.

I like the pose and sharpness and would add to the other comments that there seems to be a color cast.
