I also like the colors/light combination, plus the pose is also very just-for-You like.

:D :D :D Very nice image. The angle of the bird's head is at the perfect angle. The perch and BG are excellent.

I think this is extremely well done, Carol. The overall darkness of the BG and bird lends such a rich feeling to this image and I love the way the falcon is glancing down as if looking at an upcoming meal.

Carol, wonderful shot, excellent BG. I would be happy to take 15 pixels from the bottom and put it on top. Yeah, that's pretty picky.

Wonderful capture , Carol!!
From exposure to colors and detail, what a magnificent bird, but unlike Sandy I would only take 12 pixels from the bottom and 2 to 3 from the right, I am not that picky myself!!! :wink:

Beautiful! I love the rich dark colors of the falcon and the contrasting yellow feet and area around the eye and beak. The head turn is very nice and the pose is wonderful.
