Superb look-back pose, sharp eye and clean BG makes this one for me. I wish the light was a bit less harsh.

Thats one beautiful portrait of the hawk Ruhikanta against a sweet BG. Did you attract the hawk to the perch?

Excellent!! A number of us had the privilege of photographing a very cooperative young RTH locally last year, but it kept perching either on a wire, and fence post, or high up in a tree when it chose a natural branch. I love that you got it down low on this perch. Great HA on this backside view!

Niclely composed image, great detail and love the BG. Might have just toned the brightness down a little.
