That's crazy good Jim, I love the way he is banking, but the head is straight. He is really checking out the camera.

I like the banking pose, sharpness, eye contact and composition. Excellent image Jim.

Pretty amazing incoming pose. Like the open beak and fanned tail.
I think the PP on the head needs a little tweaking- I can't decide if there is a bit too much sharpening or if the details seem a little coarse for another reason.
I am sure you can fix this.well done!

Agree with Gail, amazing pose and all, the sharpening looks a little course, too high radius maybe?

Another nice prairie shot Jim. Looks like a pissed off mama falcon coming at ya! Love the cool pose with the open beak and the fanned tail and the bit of clouds in the sky makes a big difference. Well done BFAM
