Juvenile Gabar Goshawk

Hi Chris,
Amazing pose, eyes, light, composition and details. You have a winner here!
Top quality image. For me its spot on!!
A beautiful, sharp image, Chris. I love the look of concentration on its face. No suggestions except that I might like to see a little more room in the frame.
