    Great capture! A little more room on top, and maybe remove the light grass above and right of the bird's head. Nice sharpness and detail.

    Really like the eye level view and raised wing position.
    Would like a bit more room above if you have it and I would sharpen the head a bit more.
    In a perfect world a bit of a head turn our way would have been lovely!
    The grasses are OK but I would do some trimming work on the grasses around the head.

    great pose, the hawk is a bit soft I'd sharpen him more. I like the display of habitat and the soft light

    Hi Dan, great flight pose with the raised wings, and nicely separated from the BG. Exposure looks good, and I agree with adding a touch more room above and applying some more sharpening.

    Dan bit about sharpness that I agree with, but that apart it's a very good flight shot which I for one would be very pleased with.

    Nice flight pose and well displayed in its habitat

    As commented above I would add a bit more room above and sharpen the subject a bit

    I agree with the others on the sharpening and room above but otherwise a pretty nice capture of a bird that's not that easy to get. Well done Dan
