A nice eye-level view and good wing position.

nice light in the eye, Jerry, and the bit of cloud adds a lot for the bg. nice job with your exposure too.

I like the "low" perspective and the nice wing position. Sky color is nice for this bird. To me the bird is just a tad soft in the larger version.
