Fun and unique image, Stuart. The BG is lovely. You have a hint of nest. My fav part are the flared wing tips, and it's nice to see just enough of the head to make it work.
Great shot of the wings (love the curved primaries) while still showing the head. I can't decide whether the bit of tree in the LRC adds or not; it does show his destination, but it's not clearly a nest.
Wonderful flight/approach image, Stuart. Can almost sense the motion as he applies the breaks. Clearly see his head and love the nest material in the talon. I also feel it's a tad tight in the frame, but like as posted.
