Sweet bird and light. I would take a bit off the bottom and wish that the bird land on a smaller perch next time. Killer BKGR. A bit more head turn would have been ideal for this pose.

Stunning bird! Agree with Artie that the perch is a bit overwhelming, but you're a better man than me if you can direct where he/she lands without baiting. :) The BG is indeed fantastic. Nice one!
You did what you could with the elements handed you. The background and sweet light were a gift, but the big perch and the less than ideal position of the head were not. You cropped your shot effectively and ended up with a pleasing image.
thanks guys. Unfortunately I didn't have the choice of perch. I also have a coupe of flying shots that I will try to post later. Unfortunately, the best wing flare ones were clipped as they move so bloody fast :p
