Red-tailed Hawk in flight.

[Karl Egressy]

I shot this one with my new 400 f5.6 L. It is the third copy that lens I have had so far and it feels like I met an old friend again that I lost for a while.
Sorry, I won't be participating for about ten days as I won't have access to my desktop.
Thanks for looking.

cool view of wings but my choice is the last one, HA is not as good for this one

[Dan Busby]

Hi Karl. Another nice one. I really like the wing detail as well as the feet and tail. A better angle would have made this really special.

[gail bisson]

You are truly capitalizing on your time with this hawk. Lovely wing position.
I prefer your other flight shots because the HA is not ideal.
I would blend the 2 OOF brown branches in front of the hawk,

Great wing position. If he had only turned his head...

[Randy Stout]

Karl:

Wing extension, details are great, and yes, would have been nice to have a better angle. I think you owe this bird a few mice!

Cheers

agre with above nice image

[David Salem]

I think this might be your sharpest flight shot but the obvious HA makes it less appealing than one with a better angle. Still a great flight shot and love the detail and the comp. Well done

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Karl, good view of the near wing and curled primaries, and nicely separated from the BG. I agree, blending in some of the bits of BG wont harm the image. Still, well captured in flight.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot.
Love the background and the wing position. Great feather detail.
Head angle is not ideal, but still a terrific shot.
Well done.
