Very dark for a Redtail, but I know they can vary a lot in color. Very nice detail and I actually rather like the pose (he looks thoughtful); agree with the commenters who suggested trying to tone down the blown bits on the beak.

Beautiful color and great detail. Two things bother me just a bit. First the beak seems a bit blown out. I wonder if a little black in soft light mode would improve that. The second is something you can't do anything about, and that is the direction of his gaze. The eye is so clear and strong, I would really like to see him looking straight into the camera so I could get more of a sense of connection with him.

I see you!

I was surprised to see that this is a red tail hawk, seems darker and more red than most I have seen but there can be some variations in the species. Nice pose for you, I do feel the beak is a bit bright, maybe a bit of dodging to tone it down just a touch regardless nicely done!

This fellow looks like he got in a bit of a scuffle. Nice warm lighting.

You're right, the low angle light is in exactly the right area of the image to make it just fantastic. Great shot, beautiful beast.
