Young red shouldered hawk. A sunny afternoon soon turned into fog and then a drizzle as soon as I arrived at this location. Had to deal with low light and fog which doesn't do justice to the colors of this handsome raptor but I managed a few frames...had to push the exposure by one stop in post as I had underexposed the raws by accidentally setting the EVF brightness too high, luckily the files handled it nicely
All shot with the A1 and 600 GM +1.4X TC handheld, processed with C1P. ISO 2500 f/5.6 1/2000 sec (got lucky with slow ss)

A pretty frame Arash. Classy, wings up pose with excellent flight angle and eye contact.
Excellent feather detail too, it all works. Nicely done!

Great wing position Arash is the first thing I noticed. Great Ha and I like the variable background palette. Love the feet position showing the talons. TFS

Love this one Arash. Ditto the positives here. Details on the bird are so good, and the graduated BG rocks.

Typical Arash excellence! Great point about watching EVF brightness versus actual exposure.

Yeah, I've had that happen with the EVF, often after I've been shooting on boats where the light is bouncing all around and I need ore brightness to see what's going on in the camera.
Regardless, you salvaged the image perfectly. Pose is great and the details are outstanding. I could see specifically raising the facial shadows a touch just to help direct our attention there, but that's more personal preference than anything else.

This looks real good.......What a great flight pose....The detail on the bird is perfect...I like the trailing legs showing signs of blood...
