The the cloud line was right above my head. The sun was coming in clear and low from the southeast, but the bird was against the clouds as I shot to the north.

I like the composition and eye contact, the feather in the Merlin's beak tells the story.

Gorgeous bird shot very well.  I like the white background, but would love to see the Merlin with a closer crop.  When I zoomed in, I saw the sparrow in his talons, which made me say WOW!
