Red-tail Howk on Billboard

[Rachel Farquhar]

Taken early in the morning from the top of a bridge, handheld. Camera: D90, lens: 10-300mm G, 1/125s @ F/10, +.03 EV Wild, or at least unbanded. Cropped tight, heightened saturation (did I overdo it?), and sharpened slightly.

Rachel, good looking hawk. For me the saturation and the sharpness are both just right. I would like to see the bird moved farther to the left in the frame so the bird would have a little more room to look into.

Hi Rachel, excellent comments by Wendell! I like the look-back pose and the eye contact, very nice. I might only add a bit of sharpening and maybe add a little blue saturation for the sky. Look forward to more!

Love it, maybe a tad more on the right or move to the left - really like this picture!

Thanks for the comments, I think looking at the crop again that you are right, I'll recrop and add more space to the right.
