Semiplumbeous Hawk in Costa Rica

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Hawks and other raptors are not as numerous in the tropics as they are in the tempered zones.

Here´s a handsome hawk that luckily for me, was posing in this branch for a brief moment! just enough to make a few shots of it!

I like the one leg pose, eye contact, perch and setting. I would consider toning down the top edges of the perch on our right at the fork area. Just got back from your beautiful country a couple of days ago but didn't take to many images on the family vacation. Well done Juan.

Awesome Juan, love the pose and the overall composition of this one. Well done!

Great one legged balanced pose and great eye contact, must have been good pulling up your lens on this magnificent Raptor.

Fantastic pose with great eye contact. Love the included habitat. I would probably selectively sharpen the head a bit more.
