    Great pose and eye contact. It could go a bit darker for my taste. I find it surprising that the shutter speed is relatively low at these settings and what appears to be lots of light available. Did you make it very early or late in the day?

    I second Judy - Great timing. I like the way one foot is still touching the perch - or should I say THE perch (that same perch is appearing in a lot of photos recently :) ). Very nice sharpness, composition, and head angle.

    Fabs, I like this one much better than your previous one!! Only one talon letting go of the perch is very cool indeed :-)
