The light looks magic........beautiful action,colors,bg,details....for another time congrats!!!

What a great reminder of this wonderful subject Ramon. The comp works well, and I really like the light, detail and colours in this. Well timed to capture him pulling at the bait. I would maybe burn the right leg slightly, otherwise, a very pleasing image.

Light is amazing, very well composed (out of the camera).
I like the pose, exposure and BG.

Stuart, I've already burned a little the legs, but I didn't want to over do it as they are actually preety bright :)

Stunning light! Bird is well exposed with great detail & colours. Like the eating pose & action captured. Well done!

[Elmar Venter]

This is really pretty. I like everything about it.

[Jay Gould]

Ramon, hard to image it getting much better than this!!

[arash_hazeghi]

Excellent Ramon, graphic but that's the predatory nature of the hawks. everything is spot on, congrats

Amigo
THis is super. After seeing the thumbnail I was hoping you visited again. Never mind, still great to see this hawk. I loved your series and thanks for reminding me of them! :)

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I remember this series and this one looks great, too. I particularly like the sharpness, angle and BG and would only lighten the shadow on the right leg and tone down the legs.

[Morkel Erasmus]

this is your best of this bird Ramon. great feeding pose, sharp details and sublime light! congrats!

[Brian Sartor]

The light, warm color tones, and overall clarity are fantastic!

Axel, you are right, I will give that a try and repost soon. Thnaks!

Ramon, This has been a spectacular series. I like the color tones in the image and the fantastic sharpness.

[Michael Zajac]

Ramon, I like the colors in the BG and the saturation on the bird is perfect. Nice sharp eye. Fantastic details.

[Arthur Morris]

Loverly. Iam new to this bird. Assuming that it was baited please indicate such with each posted image. Love the blood, light, BKGR, and SH here. Wish for a slightly better HA here.

Thanks Artie, I said in the description that it was baited, I will check the previous posts to see if I forgot to indicate it in any of them but during the whole time in the descriptions I only talked about how challenging it was to make this guy perch :)
Forgive my ignorance.. but what does SH stands for? I know HA is Head Angle :o

[Arthur Morris]

Thanks Ramon. I did not think to look in the EXIF for the baited info. SH = sharpness.

[Ramon M. Casares]

No problem Artie, I have already completed the info on some of the older posts of this guy.
Thaks for the answer about SH :)
Be well.

[Harshad Barve]

fantastic shot , loved the pose and BG
