Nice light, great wing position Chris. The talons showing is another plus here. Well done.

I love the focus on the bird captured here, the wing position is a big add on to making this beautiful
the talons that hang below ready to pounce make this very special image to me,
The two layered bg adds a lot to it

Chris great capture, good exposure focus and colours, equally good background. Still struggling to get a shot here, several "photographers" have appeared on the scene and they are charging about trying to catch the bird. They have had a few words spelt out regarding welfare of the subject, lets hope it has worked.
