Gene, a terrific frame of this hawk. The underwing detail and exposure are amazing when viewed large. And the clouds add beautifully to the background. Excellent image!

Very nice soft lighting utilized perfectly. Also nice cloud detail with the 300 mm lens.

Gorgeous detail and clarity. And it's looking right at you- are you the target? ;) What a beautiful bird-I wish we had them here.

Cynthia,  Thanks.  I was in a hide and she flew right in front of me looking at the camera.  This image is almost full-frame with only minor processing.

Superb image. One of my favorite hawks. We don't have them were I live, but I got some shots few years ago in Idaho bird sanctuary.
