Fabiola:

Nice specimen, I like the saturated colors, maybe a little more USM.

Ehh, groundpod??

Great shot. Love the claw. In fact it grabs me more than the eye. Perhaps brighten the bird wrt the BG would help a bit.

Cheers

Beautiful bird. I consider him the "bad boy" of the backyard during the snow in the winter. That claw does get your attention.

I like how the flowing lines in the bg mirror the angle the hawk is perched at. Cool shot.

Very nice shot. I wish I would have seen one of these when I was there. Love the one leg pose. Great background and perfectly exposed.

Why don't coops pose like that for me? This bird looks marvelous. A beautiful juvenile plumage and you captured it well. It has to be a male :lol: :)

Nice catch of this good looking Cooper's Hawk, Fab.

I had one like this sitting on one of my bird baths a few weeks ago -- I've read that their numbers in Florida are on the rise and the guess is that it is because of the spread of Eurasian-Collared Doves, which seem to be its preferred food source.

Fab,

Very nice shot. Love the one-footed pose and the view of those talons. Well done.

Amazing shot, Fab. My only nit is the split BG.
