Beautiful shot. You can feel the anticipation. I am new here as well, are the settings somewhere? I am guessing this was taken at some distance and you have cropped heavily?

Is that Cape St Mary? I would move the bird a little to the right to give him a little room to move into, and so he is not so centered.

[QUOTE="EricBowles, post: 2214, member: Yes it is Cape St Mary. Position is a bit of a toss up. If I move him to the right his head ends up in the centre. I may try moving him just a bit to the right but not so far that his head is dead centre. Thanks for looking.

Sorry, hit the wrong button. Meant to say that while the head would be centered the bulk of the body would not be, just a thought. Beautiful image never the less.

This is a great shot, but it looks a bit soft to me., could maybe use some sharpening Also, that black spot to the right of the bird draws my eye right to it. I would clone that out. Aside from that, great shot.

I like the bit of motion at the wing tips. Crop it the way you want to print it and be happy. You have a stellar photo there! 
To me the left side of the frame should start where the slope ends. The slope tells a good bit of the story. The top right should start where the rocky slope starts, sort of mirroring the grassy slope on the bottom left. The sky doesn't add anything in my view.
