Really good

Only 2 points really I should mention

The fog on the castle on the highest tower shouldn't really be such a straight line

Eagle/Hawk Compare its right wingtips to its left wing tips you'll see that the right has lost its speed blur when you cut it out

Thank you, I'll try to fix these.
I guess I wanted so much to see it done, that I lost some details. But the eagle was not cut, it was painted from a reference photo.

You know which is the funny part? In the reference photo, it had the wings feathers cut.
