Whoa, that's a pretty small target for a landing. You really froze this one in motion. I compliment you on controlling the contrast on this species as I know it can be difficult. The talons and the huge eye make this one and I think the composition is just right as it appears to be dropping into the frame. The image would be a little better if more of the perch was visible. Nice one.

This is excellent! Those outstretched legs and talons with the focused stare make this super.

Stuart, I like the pose with the talons reaching out. I wish there was just a tad more perch. I might tone down the whites on the legs just a bit but they don't look clipped.

lovely landing pose and details, will improve with more room in the bottom

Stuart, nice landing pose . Like the fanned tail and spread primaries, talons and eye contact are great.

Awesome landing pose Stuart.
