    Magnificent flight pose.Love the wing position and composition.
    Would remove the OOF grass leaves above the back and tail.

    Regards,

    excellent wing positions, sharp.
    I'd increase sat/contrast a bit.

    Hi Dan,
    I really like the soft pastel palette in this image. Gives a beautiful sense of the environment.
    Great wing position.
    Agree with a tad more contrast.
    If mine, I would clone out the OOF blade of grass just above the back,
    Gail

    Great flight position, I love the wing position...I think it could use a slight boost in contrast.

    Excellent image Dan! I like the wing position, sharpness, setting and composition. I would remove the blade of grass on the back.

    Agree with comments above. A stunning image overall. I wonder if just a sliver off the top and bottom (more off the top than bottom) might make a more dynamic image? Very well done. One to be proud of.

    Great flight image of this hawk. You sure have been having some good shooting at this location lately. Very sharp and love the wing position. Yes to a bit more contrast or saturation. Very nice.

    I like the dynamic wing position. I agree with the contract perhaps helping out the capture giving it a little more punch.
