Scott,
What a lovely shot. The feathers in the talons and blood on his legs certainly tell a story. I would like to see more room on his left so we can see "at what" or toward what he is looking.

Terrific image!
True colours and great pose. Unneeded extra room at the top - a slightly closer crop would help, still preserving room on the left.

Nice and close on a usually standoffish species.

Lovely Kestral image. I agree there is a little too much top room.
