Very sharp with a nice complimentary BG color. Wing position could be a little more dynamic.

Mike-

It looks like it may have been on a glide to prey or at least I have seen that look many times when they are zeroed in on target.

I would give you two thumbs up. Well done.

Hey Mike: This is my favorite BIF image I've seen in recent weeks by far. I love everything about the subject and the background. The light is perfect and the image is sharp. Well done.

Mike: I am with Danny. This is an awesome BIF. What I like most, is that the tail is featured in this lovely capture. You also have a lovely BG and a nice HA.

Hi Mike,

The colours are superb under this light and I'm very impressed with the details in the eye! Very well done!!

Super image with lovely eye contact and killer BG ,

Very nice! Sharp but needs some less sharpening IMO.

Beautiful light, background and sharpness. Wing position could be a bit better, bit still a great image

beautiful sharp image. I like how the red color of tails shows

An awesome image! Is this the full shot or did you crop some?

Great flight image that shows the red tail well. The BG goes perfectly with the hawk!

This is real nice Mike. Good flight pose and detail. Only wish the wings were either up or down but even still this is great.

This is a perfect flight shot !! Exposure bang on !

It's about ninty percent I would say, cropped to 8 x 12
Thanks,

Superb. Love the red tail that stands out. I like the wing position, especially the turned up wing tips. You should be able to market this to SWA.
