Here it is. I hope you do not mind my other edits in Lightroom. You had some very serious gear there. Did you apply a filter to the structure on the left?

Thanks for posting this really nice shot.

Crop is okay, additional tweaking, not so much. Original has pretty heavy processing overall, which caused the artifacts on the tower. Your additional adjustments killed the Falcon's color.

RE: serious gear - Canon R5, EF 600mm f/4 L IS II w/ 2X III mounted on Katana full size gimbal. The camera is mounted on a free floating gimbal head attached to the counterweighted boom. The boom mast mounts to the seat platform, as does the folding seat with quick release. Under the platform is an 18” Lazy Susan bearing. The tripod spider is a 5/16”x18” aluminum disk with sections of heavy aluminum L shapes bolted to it, serving as leg mounts. The foot rail folds in half and is reinforced at the mounting points. Legs are at 45˚, casters offer a small amount of level adjustment.

It is quite heavy, and takes me about a half hour to set up, but is comfortable all day.
The seat and boom bearings compliment the frictionless gimbal to produce smooth, precise camera aiming, with full hemisphere + coverage. A 12V battery and seat and back heated cushions are added for very cold days.
