I call this "The Hunter".

I'm thinking about putting it out for sale...

Great modelling as always, Michael.
However, I can't quite put my finger on it but there is something about the top part that jumps out on me as looking wrong.

I think I know what it is, I have always seen falcons with the head high and alert like this one.

First time I have seen it with the head low as this one

Here's a copy of the original artwork by my friend, Judson Portzer.
It was an illustration for a Children's book.
I really don't like changing the design from the artist intent...
Maybe on the next one I extend the neck.
Thanks for posting the additional pictures.

You are welcome, my friend.
I totally agree with you, it just caught me by surprise and even more to see a photo of one with the head low.
I wasn't criticizing

Ms.Wolffie, ( that sounds so classy

)
It wasn't taken as criticism...
I've learned a long time ago when I started my stained glass studio that once you put your work out in the public, you'd better be ready for comments.
Of course we all like good responses but people try to help and it's not always accepted with the same intent of the viewer.
Just like my previous posting of the three horses.
I would have never seen the mistake without another ( several ) sets of eyes looking it over.
So, not to worry, I'm always looking for ways to improve,,I have a long way to go before I'm finished.
All the best,
Michael

I don't blame you for not wanting to change from the artists original. However, the head looks a little squashed and pointed. Almost like an owl.

Michael,
Actually thought it was an Owl too(Kinda neat...and maybe Falconry for the day shift?

UNTIL Wolffie posted the pics...and then embarrassed I got it wrong

Beautiful work as always!
