I really love this picture, the expressions on the faces of the charachters really stands out, and tell you that they are really in love and obviously on thier courtship flight.
If you would allow me, As humbly as I can to offer a little crit?, I know you did not ask and it is just somthing you did for fun and the last thing I wanna do is make an artist I admire mad!. But it is a way for an artist to improve yeah?.
Now the groveling is out of the way, The fore-talons seem a little thin and flimsy and out of proportion to the rest of the body, They are quite skinny and don't really seem to fit with the rest of the gryphons bodies. Not nthat it's anything you can change considerng it's real media and not digital, but just thought I'd let you know, and I still like the peice. :)

Thanks for your feedback :3 A lot of gryphon artists give their gryphons thicker, sturdier forelegs. I like to keep the thinner legs that are more characteristic of raptors. However, the thicker 'gryphon legs' are more accurate, since for a four-legged creature, the front legs wouldn't be able to support the creature if they were the same thickness as a real raptor.
I may experiment with thicker gryphon legs in the future :)
