I love the look at the plumage on this bird's back, and of course the head turn makes a big impression in the image. Wish I could get as close to one of these amazing birds!

Michael,

That proves why they are called Red Tail. Well done.

I like the "over the shoulder" look. A nice departure from the usual pose. Good exposure and detail.

Great up close and personal image. This is about as close as you can get before switching to head shot mode.

Nicely done!

Great light and shooting to you all!

Excellent look-back shot, Michael. Maybe a hair more DOF.

I like the image. I would love to get this close to one that's this low. The head seems a bit soft to me but it seems to sharpen right up with a little USM. Nicely done.

Turn of the head, color of the tail, detail in the back are wonderful. Like Sandy, would wish for just a bit more DOF.
