Marvelous picture. Great pose, lots of detail, dramatic sky, it's all here.

You did good, Anthony. A lot of people won't realize how difficult it was to pull a good image from that location. The gradient effect adds a very nice touch too.

Wow, you got lucky to have found one. I didn't see more than a few circling way high up.
The tangling branches add a feeling of tension.
