    Killer light. Love the landing pose. Wouldn't mind a little more space all around if you have it, esp on the bottom. Congrats on capturing the moment!

    Awesome landing pose, and I love the two-tone eye. Very sharp as posted. It would be nice to see more of the ground and I would look into eliminating the BG streak touching the wing.

    Hi Pierre, excellent landing pose in nice light with great eye contact. I like the feather detail and those outstretched talons. I agree with more room , particularly the bottom.

    +1 for streak behind bird's right wing (left viewing) and a bit more light under opposite wing would have been nice, and as mentioned more of the landing area might have balanced the shot a better, but quite a stunning shot and one I would be more than happy to have.

    Dramatic shot, very well done. I'll add my vote for a bit more room and agree that the streak touching the right wing is distracting.

    Thanks for comments everyone!
    I agree with a bit more space and yes, that streak is distracting - thanks again
