Notice the dead snake on the left side, I may post more when the hawk was eating it.

Quite lovely, Raul, great exposure, very well composed and sharp as tack.
U almost suggested to crop from left, but after looking at the perch, this was the best option. Way to go!

Look at that snake...completely skinned! I'd may be tempted to darken the lower part of the perch to balance out the overall tonality of the image. Perhaps also give it a tiny bit more room above. Great sighting :-)

Love the composition and the predatory look of the scene with the dead, skinned snake. I suggest to tone down a bit the sky and the perch and to fix some sharpening halos that I see around the brird and perch. Very good job and hope to see more images from this series.

Thanks for comments.
I agree with the suggestion abobe, I will try to implement in my next post.
I did not notice the halos until Juan mentioned it... now is the only thing that I see.
The sky was already towned down, by 20 point using the hue/sat... I will try with curves ith the raw converter.
