Awesome image, Roy. Wonderful detail and color. Nicely composed, too. I love both the focus on the Falcon's eye and its pose with the one talon raised. The focus on the eye nicely engages the viewer and the bird with one another. The raised talon reminds me of a dog when it points its paw toward something of interest that it sees. I'd say the Falcon is doing the same--- he sees you and is pointing like a dog (either that, or he's waving to you).
