hawk

Taken from the front porch, he was trying to get chipmunks without

much success. Your comments are appreciated

This is a below average shot.  Poor cropping, bad WB.  I realize birds are not easy, I shoot a lot of bird shots so I am not being nasty here, just trying to set you on a different thought-approach when you do birds.   A lot is post work, but a lot can still be done in those short time frames the birds give you.  Keep at it, the fact that you seen this bird and got a clean shot is an accomplishment in itself.

I would not rate this as below average, sure perhaps a little tighter cropping and some WB adjustment in post to help make it "pop". But considering it was probably hurry up, grab the camera and get a hand held shot before it was gone - rather well taken and sharp even +175% in large view  .
