Alan, spectacular pose and details. Wondering if a little more room below will improve it.
On the right edge, I can see tail feather :-) Without that, I wouldn't have guessed that that part of the image is a constructed one. You might want to re do the whole LRC.
On second thoughts, dont re do the whole corner but replace those couple bushes with something similar( but not exact) so it is not very apparent that they are pasted from the left side of this image. I am guessing you must have stuff on the left side in your orig frame(that is cropped out) that can be used.
Alan...must say that is one impressive 'canvas addition':5
Sweet shot. I agree with adding a little room on the bottom. It would lessen the appearance of looking down on the hawk.
Great capture! Good catch with the feather from the above comment. I think the current framing is fine. You gave enough room for the bird to follow through in the flight/landing direction. I prefer seeing the whole underside as well as the stretched-out wings and tail in large.
Awesome wing position and lovely catch light .
What a nice wing / tail spread!! I like the comp as is too. Was this guy baited or lured in any other way? In any case this takes skill to capture it this way:c3:
Thanks Alan. Man that decoy owl does wonders in attracting raptors!!
