The light, BG, composition exposure and focus are hard to find any fault with.

Your handheld techniques continue to amaze me.

Thanks, Jim. My reason for asking stems from a photo of a California juvenile RS Hawk at the bottom of page 55 in A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors by Wheeler and Clark. Your image sure looks to be its twin!! 8) 8)
