    What a handsome falcon! Nice colors/exposure. I might crop tighter if it's not a big crop now, to focus more on the bird.

    The perch is not the most attractive, but the bird is. Excellent pose captured.

    The details of the bird is shown very well on a well exposed image. Like the dark bg making the falcon standout.

    Very nice bird, beautiful colors, sharpness. BG is just a touch busy. But overall a very nice image. Loi

    Awesome subject, perch, pose. Too bad the BG was not farther away to give you a better smoothed-out BG.

    Beautiful. I like the crop as is but would like to see some smoothing on BG as it's a bit lumpy.
