    This handsome hawk is pretty popular at a place I frequent often. Whenever he sees me photographing other birds and wildlife he perches nearby to steal the show. He's an attention hog.

    Welcome to BPN Daniel. I like the pose you have on the bird, and the perch looks good. I feel the image is too tight and needs more room around both bird and perch. The brightness in the BG takes my eye from the bird. Nice feather detail and well captured. I would try for a better BG.

    Nice-looking pose and pretty good-looking details too. I like the good look at the foot and the nice perch. The background has much to be desired though.
    Once you have a subject in your viewfinder try moving around a little to better your background if possible. Good work

    Ditto Dave, I like the pose but the cluttered BG really takes away from this handsome raptor
