Nice angle you got on this one, Dave. You might do something about those bright grasses along the horizon line as they tend to pull the eye quite a bit.

Nice hunting pose you caught Dave. Fine details and exposure on the bird. Agree with Dennis on toning down the vegetation near the ground. I like the cropping.
