Pierre:

Sharp, well exposed, great pose, classic BG for that location.

Because of the direction of flight, I would consider a bit more room on the left and below, and just a sliver top and right to not crowd him.

Cheers

Wow!!! Excellent image. Sharp, great pose, nice detail and great background. I too would like a tad more room all around.

Very nice landing pose. I like the talons and the look of the bird. Great sharpness and details. TFS

[Dumay de Boulle]

Great pose, light and BG...I would also like to see more space all around!

[Ken Watkins]

Marvelous image, a bit more room would be great

[Hayath Mohammed]

You've caught this on the descent perfectly! The light, sharpness, bokeh and details.
That momentum to the left would've been better with some more space IMHO, also suggested above

[Jim Crosswell]

Great image Pierre! I like the pose, sharpness and colours. I agree with more space all around.

[Ofer Levy]

Excellent shot indeed! Great pose, sharp, awesome light and BG - well done!

[Matthew Studebaker]

Excellent. Wonderful pose, light, detail, clean background. Exposure looks perfect. I'm seeing just a little jpg artifacts in the background at the bottom and left of the frame but that's a super minor nit. Stunning image.
