A fantastic shot Miguel. I like the light coming through the wings.

Very nice composition and lighting. The grass detail here is very complementary to the hawk.

W O W !!!!

This is one of my favorite images i've seen in a long time. The backlighting, the windblown grasses, the topside view. This is such a sweet image Miguel!

Very nice as is. It would be interesting (and not very hard, I think) to try lightening the lower half and the darker portions of the bird.

I really like the backlighting and pose. I'll get slammed for this but I wish the horizon and center-line of the hawk didn't merge. If only it were a smidge higher in the frame. :wink:

I love the lighting in this photo. They eye, though small, catches my attention most.

Miguel, Great capture. I 'm with Wayne on wanting the horizon to be more off midline, but I'd take this in a heart beat anyday.

Enjoy viewing
