Not quite to the same level of expertise as some of the other avian images in this challenge, the image is technically flawed in a couple of ways being overly dark as a result of a difficult lighting situation leading to rather flat and dull coloring. The blank background also enhances these two problems. A good effort that might have been improved with a little more patience waiting for a different angle and lighting.
VEry very nice photo!! Just a thought... Have you tried cropping closer to just include the tail, wings, and head. The awesome background might just make the impression of clouds and his feet might look as if they are tucked back like in flight.
Just thinking out loud as I look at your photo jealously.
