Good capture!

Stunner of a bird and nice composition. Bummer that the sky was so flat behind him.
03/17/2009 08:21:02 PM
Lovely shot.
03/17/2009 01:14:46 PM
I think this lacks a clarity that would really make it stand out, or perhaps the frame on the right is too close? I can't put my finger on it.
03/17/2009 09:20:44 AM
Very nice close up of this raptor.
03/16/2009 10:19:39 PM
Nice golden light.
03/16/2009 05:40:04 PM
The white balance seems off on this. It appears it is the end of the day so would expect the warm hues, it looks a little too warm.
03/16/2009 03:50:43 PM
really nice colors....just a little dark...curves
03/16/2009 01:20:34 PM
Good shot. A bit dark but still nice.
03/16/2009 11:08:35 AM

Awesome capture and presentation. Gorgeous.
03/16/2009 01:20:13 AM
Good capture with nice warm colors.
03/15/2009 10:46:04 PM
Such a clean, sharp photo. Certainly deserves to be a gem in your collection.
03/15/2009 07:57:35 PM
nice catch.
03/15/2009 04:26:53 PM
haha, at first glance it looks like the hawk left a big pile of droppings on the plant. Aside from that, the color of the sky and the almost brownish tone in the plant are not too appealing and the center composition doesn't really help either.
03/15/2009 01:31:18 PM
Good DOF, I like the colors but the whole image feels rather dark.
03/15/2009 01:26:08 PM
Nice clarity and exposure.
03/15/2009 12:35:20 PM
Wow good timing. I can imagine how long you had to wait to capture this.
03/15/2009 11:56:50 AM
That's pretty cool. Was this at sunset? It has a reddish glow to it.
03/15/2009 11:29:17 AM
Nice shot. I think the focus could have been a little sharper and unfortunately the grey background detracts a bit.
03/15/2009 10:43:14 AM
Good nature study....
03/15/2009 12:14:47 AM
nice capture, crisp and nice clarity. 7
03/14/2009 11:52:46 PM
The white balance seems a bit off and overall this is just a "bird sitting on a plant"
03/14/2009 10:48:29 PM
good detail and crispness of the bird
03/14/2009 08:05:37 PM
That balance is nice and color is nice.
03/13/2009 09:43:07 PM
Increasing the brightness in the sky might improve this photo
03/13/2009 07:33:22 PM
nice detail in the feathers
03/13/2009 06:12:35 PM
great looking bird
03/13/2009 06:12:04 PM
Nice capture of this hawk. The colours seem a little off to me, but that may just be my monitor.
03/13/2009 05:40:18 PM
pretty bird, might have worked with crop a bit. nice warm lighting
03/13/2009 05:17:34 PM
Beautiful bird. Seems to have a bit too much of an orange hue over the whole shot. Nice capture though.
03/13/2009 02:03:03 PM
focus seems a bit off to me
03/13/2009 01:40:42 PM
The color seems off.. too red.. the greens on the plant should be greener.. nice composition
03/13/2009 01:39:52 PM
Nice eye contact, looks like you're his next meal.
03/13/2009 03:19:14 AM
Cool hawk photo.
03/12/2009 07:59:59 PM
Nice detail and good tones. The sky is drab but the rest is nice.
03/12/2009 04:51:16 PM
This looks a little underexposed, almost... I wonder how some more light and a little more contrast might make this look?

IMO the focus seems just a little soft, not bad though. Neat find w/ him posing like that for you! Best of luck!
