Red Shouldered Hawk #16

comments .thank you.

Cary, Beautiful environmental portrait of this predator. Shallow DOF nicely isolates it against the undistracting background while leaving it's perch and the bird sharp. Just enough wing tip motion to give the impression of motion. Gorgeous deep rich colours thanks, probably, to the bright but soft light & perfect exposure. You must have felt giddy with pleasure when you saw what you had captured. Rightly so! Worthy of a large print to display your expertise to friends and family (or potential buyers?). Borrowed for my screen saver for a short while if that's OK with you. Best, LM.

Great shot! If only the left wing were a little less blurred it would be perfect. But nature isn't perfect, and opportunities like this are few and far between in the wild. Nice job.

Gary this is good myself i prefer blurd wings it shows movement the hawk is sharp, great. 7/7

Regard Rod

It would be truly amazing if that wing were sharp... But I have to say that it wasn't until I closed my jaw and blinked a few times that I was able to think about technicalities. This image immediately drew me into the scene and almost had a few frames of motion built in to the feel. Amazing work - I would be very proud to have this in my portfolio.

The image is awesome to look at. Birds land at near zero velocity. This hawk's head and body are nearly motionless while the wings slow the motion and maintain lift. Your photo documents the details very well.

Great capture!

Excellent shot!

Perfect capture.

Excellent light and composition. Eyes right where it is landing. Depth of field is shallow and has made the eagle stand out against the background.

wow. what a beautiful Hawk. and such a great capture. bravo!

il y manque du rien

Excellent image; goo timing. The wings show good motion, but yet hold detal. well done.

Fantastic timing and exposure. The light filtering from the wings is absolutely magnificient. 7/7

Great shot! The colors are beautiful & work so well together. Your photo captured the color of the body and varigated wings of this gorgeous bird.
