red shouldered hawk

comments are appreciated. . .

Very handsome bird, and an equally handsome photo. Couldn't ask for a better 'pose' :) Nice work! -Greg-

Thank you, Greg. . . I've been trying to get an unobstructed shot of a hawk for a while. . . fortunately, this one didn't fly off right away. . .

Nice shot Donna, looks like a young one.

Donna, great capture with excellent details. I was lucky to take a shot of RSH a couple of months ago at Point Reyes National Seashore, CA but not as good as yours. Nicely done.

Buena captura Donna, esta magnifico. Saludos cordiales.

Beautiful shot, Donna. I have a beautiful hawk who frequents my property, but he's tough to get a bead on...can't get a clear focus like you were able to obtain. Well done.

I think shooting on a bright sunny day helped. . they tend to move their heads a lot while sitting there. . .

Perfect lighting on this magnificent fellow. Great capture! You'd go crazy with the bird life here in OZ...

Thanks,Linda. . . maybe someday I'll get to OZ. . . I can only imagine the possibility of a whole new continent to explore. . .

Good capture, Donna! I know how hard hawks are to shoot. The least little movement and away they go! You have great detail and lighting in this one.

MUY BUENA COMPOSICION , UN SALUDO
