I like the feather deatil captured in the light feathers. Good pose comp colour and BG.
In two minds on the water drops. not sure if they should stay or go. i think the bottom should be cloned out?
Wonderful shot Nicholas. Good details and exposure control, nice flight pose and killer bg. Re the water drops, understand Dave's thinking and could suggest moving the bottom one up, :). Nicely done.
I like the position of the head against the far wing. You did well in the relatively harsh light.
Where and when???

Excellent pose Nicolas! I too love the thwe wing behind the head, very nice. I also like the vegetation at bottom. As posted you could lighten the catchlight a bit more (it surely looks great full-size).
