you've really captured the motion in the flames here, the phrase "flames licking" is invoked for me. I wish there was maybe a cue to nudge it into feeling a bit more holiday-ish? Still a cool image, I like it.

I'm giving you a ten just because I love star trails and this must have taken a couple of hours of waiting.

Some constructive criticism though. When you do star trails, the foreground is more important than the star trails themselves. While the trails are a very cool phenomenon, essentially they are just streaks of light. This capture would have been more interesting if we could see what is going on in the rocks.

I must take issue with your title.
This isn't a falcon. It's a buzzard (Europe) or hawk (US).
That aside, it's an excellent capture and a neat crop.

The subject seems really washed out. I wish the colors were more vibrant. Going bw might just bypass that issue and look great. Awesome shot and framing.

First off, a nice capture, especially with getting some clouds in there to break up the background.

However, it may just be me, but I'm seeing what looks like a high amount of chromatic aberration on the bottom of the head and the right side of the wings.
