All you need is for them to be closer

Excellent exposure and the bird turned nicely for you Great soft light making for good looking plumage and fine eye contact !! Position wise would have liked the far wing higher but do like it a lot as presented

[Nonda Surratt]

Love that eye contact!!! And what Alfred said. Nice one Lance!!!

[George DeCamp]

Love the eye here too, he is looking at you. Agree with Alfred on the far wing, here is one spot when multiple images with a fast fps rate would probably catch the wings in a better spot.

awesome head angle!! all points covered above! what kind of bird is this, lance? i know i have seen it before. just cant remember!

[Nonda Surratt]

Mr. H beat me too it on the type of hawk?

[Desmond Chan]

The head looks like that of a northern harrier/marsh hawk, but the color does not look those I've seen. Don't know. Not sure if it could be called "northern" in Australia anyhow :)
