It's fantastic

I really like how you've positioned the peregrine at the top of the frame.
You really do get an impression of space with this one.The fact that the falcon has more detail helps lift it forward from that mass of hazy mountain top.

This will look awesome in a suitable mount.

Wonderful

Fine painting - you can feel the lift and atmosphere, and you can feel the bird's (and painter's) confidence. - Bob
 
Pencil Peregrine

Here's a pencil one on A4 paper - it is from a photograph (shame upon me), but I couldn't resist all the markings on the feathers. The photographer is a chap named Greg Mikkelson (spelling?) from the USA (and he did give me permission to copy it ;)
thanks for looking,
Zek.

I love the feeling of floating, I honestly felt week at the knees as though I'd toppled off the edge of the cliff! Great painting, very atmospheric and a great sense of composition and space.
