This looks like a Saker Falcon, a favorite bird that the Arabs use for hunting in the united arab emirates. They are a big falcon and one that will readily take ground prey such as rabbits and Hares but also for the large desert birds that inhabit the dry sands.

A very striking image. Just a touch too much lighting causing almost a blur on the beak

Very Nice... - Where was this taken that the background is so dark ? it really makes it pop...

I would have cropped this closer on the left as the object which I am guessing is the other wing's underside, does not look good. Otherwise, an excellent photo. 9

Lovely. Man, this is awesome. The dark background just makes him jump out. I feel like I can sense the softness of the feathers. His eye is wonderful. The colors and lighting couldn't be better. 9
