Thanks for looking!

Wow I wish I could draw like that. I have a special preference for raptors (especially Peregrines) and you have captured it's look perfectly. Congratulations Craig and keep up the good work!

Regards, Silverfalcon.

You beat me too it Marmot.
Craig a very very nice sketch. As Marmot says the eye is superb, you can see the tear fluid almost.
