Very nice look at this beautiful raptor. If this is not full frame, I would allow a little more room all around. I would also pull back on the exposure a bit. Great Capture.

Hi Sandy great subject in some very nice light. There seems to be some pixellation all around the edge of the bird that needs to be cleaned up. It's most noticable in the large version around the tail.

Excellent, Sandy. Great bird and background; nice management of the light. I agree with Charlie on the minor nit; easily fixed.

Great details and color palette here Sandy. I would like a bit more space all around, particularly on the bottom.
