Red shouldered hawk going airborne

[Rick Moran]

Taking at the Everglades. D2h w 400/5.6ED AI, f5.6@1/3000, iso 320, exposure comp -2/3.
Thanks for looking, Rick

[Doug Brown]

Great wing position and sharpness. I'd like to see the bird a little brighter, and with a bit more room on the right (I know that might be tough because of the wide perch). Other than that, the only thing I could ask for is a slight head turn towards us. A very nice image!

[Tony Whitehead]

Agree with Doug's comments. Lovely pose and sharpness but would have more pop if brighter.

[Linda Robbins]

I also concur with Doug's comments, but I really like the launch pose. Very sharp with nice detail. Good capture!

[Dany Tielens]

Nice shot!..
the birds is central placed in the image, and should have a bit more room in the flying direction,
so the compo would be improved...grtz!

[Fabs Forns]

Lovely pose and agree on the comments above. Keep them coming!

[Stu Bowie]

Great timing, and super sharp. Great capture Rick.
