Hi Tim, it was great that you caught a RTH low on the ground. The low POV works great, good sharpness and details. The light looks a bit harsh, but you handled it well. The BG is a bit distracting, but it is what it is. Loi

I just love how the colors of the dry grass complements the colors of the bird - almost giving it a sepia feel! Interesting how shallow your DOF was here - even at f/8 (unless you've manipulated blurr in pp)! Nice sharpness & detail, well done!

nice pose and good details, I like the blood residue on the beak and the low angle. I wish you had moved a bit higher so we could see the talons

Tim the bg draws my eye a bit but that you can not do a lot about, the bird itself looks excellent as does the grassy setting.

Regards Keith.
