Two Views

Two red shouldered hawks land on the snag giving me an opportunity to capture a front and back view at the same time.

Love it Judy and very well done with exposure clarity and eye contact, great job.

[Keith Bauer]

A great capture. Love the front / back views. I'd love to see a bit more of the tree at the bottom rather than having the Y so close to the edge.

[Steve Canuel]

Great opportunity well captured here Judy. I agree with Keith on the tree branch. Maybe a more vertical pano-type crop?

Hi JUdy Lynn,
I love it as presented - beautiful capture in great lighting. Their poses take it over the top for me.
Regards,
Nicki

Great picture, nice colors and details. This dead tree has proved to be a very productive.

Saludos,

Love the poses, Judy, especially eye contact with right hawk makes the connection to us. Agree that the Y-perch is a little close to the bottom. On my monitor, the right hawk seems a little sharper than the left, but that's a very minor nit. Overall this is a stunning photo of two perched hawks, congrats!

Nicely done, Judy! Those poses are a nice bonus. The only quibble I have, other than wishing it were my image and the already mentioned crop, is that I wish for less brightness in the lower hawk's upper legs. My eyes get drawn to that area. Otherwise, great job!

Congratulations on this beautiful capture. The light and the poses are perfect. Thanks for letting me know about your good luck at GC.

[Joanna Trescott]

Awesome. And look at all that room! This shot is spectacular.

[david cramer]

Nice catch. The front/back make this one a winner.

[Maxis Gamez]

Very unique Judy, looks like these guys are getting ready to nest!!

[James Salywoda]
