Well done, I like the body position and head, the background contrasts very nicely.
Looks very nice as is but personally I would lift the darkest tones a fraction.
I have yet to get anything like as good as this but I am hoping.

[Bill Dix]

That's a keeper. Nicely done.

Very nice Geoff, I would be very happy with this..
Nice BG.

[William Dickson]

Very well done Geoffrey. I'm glad that you eventually got a good one, well deserved. Love the BG which shows the bird real good. Nice detail, HA and crop...Good work, all good things come to those who wait.

Yes this is definitely a keeper. I like it all as mentioned especially the head different perspective,something different instead of square to the sensor.

[John Mack]

Nice how you caught a clear view of the eye and the engaged look is nice. Like the vertical crop.

Woohoo
Geoffrey, super and love the head turn, fanned tail, well done. You've been working on the harrier shot and id be jumping with this one!

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the banking pose, HA, setting and composition. Nice image Geoffrey.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Great head angle, soft light, detail and sharpness. No nits from me, lovely frame.

[Joseph Przybyla]

Nice work, Geoffrey. I like this a lot. Beautiful bird, great background, complimentary color palette all work together. Thank you for sharing.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Thanks much everyone.
