A great picture
Scott,
Nice perch and clean sky BG big pluses as are a handsome bird.
I have no idea if this would have been possible but moving right would have gotten the OOF brush in the LL out of the image and possibly a bit better position of the head and eye to you. Some fill-flash would have been helpful too to compensate for the over the shoulder light direction.
I would try a reverse s-curve to lower contrast some.
Nice profile with good detail in the feathers. Might consider lightening the image which should bring out more detail in the eye.
I like the side view of this Hawk but only wish for more a haed turned toward the viewer...excellent detail.
Great detail, beautiful bird. Agree with Pieter about lightening the image, as it seems a bit dark on my monitor (MacBook Pro, non-calibrated, brightness set at maximum). I like the perch too, except for the OOF branch in the LLC, as already mentioned. I don't mind the head angle - gives the bird a pensive look.
John
