Nice pose. I would crop this so both wingtips are pointing into the corners of the frame.

Nice action shot. What a stare! The right wing tips are cut off on my computer. Is it just my screen size? Very sharp.

Thanks for the crop suggestion Alan, will give it a go.
Looks ok on my screen Karen. Do you have the same issue with the link to the full size image?

Very nice and not too steep.
I would take a bit off the bottom. This would bring the lower wingtips into the RRC and give the illusion of being less angled.
Nice and sharp. Might play with shadow and highlight slider to see if you could get more from under the wings,

Love the pose, sharpness and staring eyes. A slightly wider crop, a bit of the bottom, then about 10 deg of counter-clockwise rotation would bring the wingtips into the corners and give the bird a more aggressive angle, IMO. There are no bit cut off on my monitor.

Great incoming pose & wing position. One of our wish-to-see raptors in IRAN. You managed backlit very well. TFS
