Super sharp with a great wing position and a perfect EXP. I wish that it had been just a bit higher off the ground, just high enough to get the primary tips above the grass. Was the bird taking off or hunting? I suspect the former.

I love this, and I love the title. I suspect you could add a touch more reds to the WB, but man-o-man I love the intimate view of the beautiful hawk. What is the story here? Were you simply hunkered down by the side of a road or field?
Very unusual and effective low angle raptor shot. Lighting and sharpness are really nice. Like Artie, I do wish the primary tips weren't obscured by the grass. The
thin plane of focus is very nice.
Ooh this one is nice. Great wing position and I very much like the unique pose and the fact that the wing tips are obscured. I do feel the bird is a heavy in color and could use lowering the blacks a bit and a slight curves adjustment to lift the darkest areas, especially the legs which look completely black and lacking in details.
Wonderful flight pose and great POV. I agree you might lift the blacks a bit with a curves adjustment; feels a little contrasty to me. ( But the species does exhibit a wide range of color variation.)
Great capture Dan! You are nailing the red tails. I totally agree and as soon as I opened the image I thought it needed a reduction in the contrast. Cool capture
