    Layton:

    Good timing on your landing shot, love the feet.

    I might be tempted to push this all the way to a silhouette, remove the snag running off to the left, move the trunk more to the left in the frame, crop down from the top. Lots of options here.

    Cheers

    Like the outstretched talons and the interesting perch. Randy makes some excellent suggestions regarding composition and pushing the darks even further to the left.

    Agree with Randy. Full silhouette will be better. My suggestion would be to pull the exposure down a stop and then play with curves to create the perfect blacks. Loved the pose and the comp.
