This falcon slowed down slightly, giving me a chance to capture him in flight. I was really happy getting this shot as it was a first for me and they are so fast.

I like the downward swooping pose...I can almost feel the wind from the wings! I too prefer the "cooler" version. I'd also prefer more room below (bird higher in the frame), and wish there was a catchlight or reflection in the eyes to give them life.. Well done on tracking it though...very sharp as posted.
