Excellent wings down-forward position, perfect shooting angle and nice background, Peter.

Very nice capture, Peter. maybe it's just me, but my eye keeps getting drawn to the tip of the feather that comes out from his beak....If this were mine (and I wish it were). I'd remove it and see if it makes much of a difference.
Cheers from the Canadian west coast,

Nice shot Peter, it may look better if you cropped it so there was a little more space below the bird and a little less above.

Awesome wing position ...
Beautiful capture, Peter!
Trimming a little off top would improve the composition IMHO.
