Robert:

Congrats on getting a new one. I hope to see these beautiful birds someday as well.

Excellent exposure, head angle, like the foot up and visible, good shooting angle.

I believe it needs a sliver of CCW rotation, and might consider a small crop from below.

Look forward to more form this encounter.

Cheers

Randy

Great pose even has a slight head turn, good techs, I would agree however a slight CCW turn is required.

Very nice and I like that you got view of the foot.
