From a truck window, along a roadside (as you might have guessed) in Belize. I liked the 'grumpy old man' appearance of this guy. C&C appreciated as always.

yes a grumpy ol hungry hawk. I enjoy the somber light and raindrops in BG.
HI! I really like this a lot. The head and eye are super-sharp, the perch is really cool and matches the tones of the hawk a little. I also like the rain drops. It looks like a Coopers Hawk?

Very nice one Bill!
Cool pose, the rain drops add to the image and love the BG. I do with the perch was smaller but they do choose that and there's nothing one can do about it! I would darken the head a tad if possible.
Nice details and clean BG. The rain adds to the image, and maybe that's why the hawk is grumpy! I wish the HA is a bit better, but may be the hawk is checking out what's on the ground.
Hey Bill, nice one.. I like the bird and I am not fussed about the perch because at the end of the day that is their habitat! like the rain in this also.
cheers,
Merv
I like the sharpness, rain, exposure, BG and composition. I have yet to get a good image of the hawk. Well done Bill!
Like everything about this image Bill, but might like to see a bit cropped off the top.

Nice capture Bill, like the overall composition, but perhaps on this one a little off the top may help? Having the rain streaks adds another dimension to the image. Selectively adjusting the blue helps on the post I think and if your ethics allowed, then toning down the larger white streak in the BKG behind the subject would give more prominence IMHO.
Another nice image.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the comments and suggestions. Computer problems have kept me silent for a few days, but hopefully I'll be up and running again.
