Dave, I like the flying posture, and you have captured good detail from the underwing. Overall, a pleasing image.

What an incredible bird and a stunning image, the only problem I can see is the background but who am I of all people to complain about that.

I love it.

Good flight posture, very interesting bird. Nice job with exposed under-wing.
The BG could be improved in PS, I'd suggest you clone out the vertical lines.
Also, the head is on the softer side, I think the focus was on the left wing.
You could sharpen selectively only the head bit more. Congrats, nice image overall.

I would suggest sharpennig the head a bit more. Nice light, pose, BG and colors. Congratulations!
