Hmmmmmm, eye level with a raptor cruising by..... COOL!! Always cool! Very nice. I will say that it looks like he's recently ate as his Crop is full. Not sure if many people know this or not, but the crop (throat area) is the first stomach were major digestion takes place... it basically holds all the bones and items it will eventually disgard.
Love the BKGR and the sharpness but I will be the odd man out here. This is not my favorite wing position (wings full up would have been much more dramatic) and in addition, the bird's head is turned a bit away...

Love the light and the BG, the detail and sharpness, I agree with Arthur that wings full up would've been better, but this wing position gives the flight a very nice feeling of speed. Congratulations!
