I liked the wing position as well as the eye contact on this one. Late afternoon light, this is cropped to vertical from a horizontal. Full frame top to bottom.

Thanks for looking, comments & suggestions are always appreciated!

Very cool shot, Steve.  Great wing spread and eye contact, and I like the warm tone from the late afternoon light. Really nicely done!
