Another beauty Chris, lovely lighting and colours.
The only thing I could think that would have improved it is that the bird could have aligned his bill so that it was clear of his chest.
Love the setting and composition Chris, wonderful capture of this little Falcon!
I have never seen this bird in real life so cannot comment about the colours, I do notice a tad of posterisation in the BG though and not sure what caused it (blurring, perhaps?)
Subject sharp and I like the pose, nice POV and eye contact with the subject.
Unique setting and the Falcon appears to be "on the edge" literally and figuratively - this is what I like most about this frame, very special and I truly enjoyed viewing, TFS!

Really great over the shoulder pose in a sweet sweet setting....I like the composition here too with nice consideration given to the landscape included. Love the warm light.
