I like the eye contact and takeoff pose and wish the far wing were higher up. I would also run NR on the BG and tone down legs and yellows on the bill.

In addition to advice by Axel, I would lose the separated foliage bottom right, and give a tiny bit more space above. Excellent timing on your part, and I love the foliage in LLC.

I agree on advice given and would like to add that I love the talons and tattered look of her plumage. Congrats

Lovely raptor. Love the clean sky and the hooked bill.

I gave it a try on PS, hope you don't mind.
