Red-tailed Hawk
This is probably the 3rd or 4th wing beat from a low perch take-off.
Taken a few weeks ago in light snow.

50d 300mm F4L IS | HH
ISO 1250, 1/2000, f5.6
a bit of room added to the left side top to bottom (copied from cropped right)
30% cut off.
Excellent posts lately.

Stunning image and the light snowfall really brings this image to another level. The pose is killer and you did a flawless job on extending canvas. I really love the way the snow reflects on your birds' bellies up up your way!

Tim,
You captured this Hawk in a great environment - the snow makes this image that much better! Wonderful outstretched wings and very nice tilt of the head. Great job on the focus as well, as I can image it may be tough with the snow and hawk flying toward you.

Instant winner, Tim. The pose is excellent, the comp is perfect and the snowfall adds a ton of character to this image.
I'm continually amazed by your images at 300mm.
