Thought it only proper to post one of my favorite images for my 1000th post. This was a captive Ferruginious Hawk that we had the great fortune to photograph as a set up while working with one of our local rehabers. They were kind enough to bring out a great variety of magnificent birds , but this one was my fav. I converted to B&W as I felt the monotone added to the majesty of this creature.

Joe, congratulations on the milestone and great-looking bird that goes with it, and thanks for sharing your work here!
I like the composition, head angle and stern look of the bird.
Joe, Congrats on the milestone. I have enjoyed viewing your images as well as your critiques. Very nice pose and I like the B&W conversion.
A lovely raptor, and looks right in the environment, not captive at all!
Congratulations on the milestone and the excellent image.
Hi Joe, I like the black and white presentation. I agree with Callie de Wet that presentation is very nice and certainly doesn't appear captive. NIce details and pose. Congratulations on your 1000th post. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing many more.
Majestic-looking bird! Congrats on your 1,000th post Joe! Love the framing, in particular the inclusion of the pine cone at the bottom of the frame.
Congrats on your 1,000th post...beautiful setting,pose,perch
Joe:
Very nice both from a technical and artistic standpoint. Like the framing elements, the clouds in the BG, nice pose. Congrats on the milestone.
Cheers

Congratulations, Joe. Great image to celebrate. I especially like the foliage framing.
Very nice Joe and thanks and congrats on the 1K. Love the pine tree setting. With the pretty bright light from the hard left the whites could use some more density. A Linear Burn might be in order.
Congratulations...and you chose a very good image for 1000th post. loved the B&W treatment.
Thanks to all for your kind and constructive comments and your congrats as well.
Congrats Joe.. Looks great ! I think I still have pine tar from that perch on my clothes !
Congrats. This one works well as a B/W.
