I have to critique 3 photos for my college black and white photography course so here goes... This is a very cool shot for something that you call a "bad shot". I would like to see the rest of the picture to compare. I love how the shadow under the hawk's face as opposed to the light that highlights his face creates contrast. Also the way that depth of field comes into play with the muted background against the crispness of the hawk's face. The look on his face says you are dead meat!!!
