    Default Cooper's Hawk

    Hello...This is a large crop, about one third of the original image. I had a small
    opening through some trees, and a fence directly in front of me, but I was still
    able to make a few exposures. The only thing in my favor was the early
    morning sun directly at my back.
    Thanks for looking…tom

    Well done in a difficult situation but the steep angle to the subject is far less than ideal. The look-back head angle saved the day... SH and EXP good.

    In situations like this you can always use the 2X TC instead of the 1.4X, move back, and focus manually. This will decrease the angle of inclination to the subject.

    The sharpness really held up, well done. Very nice light.

    Artie's critique is right on. I would also add a recommendation to tone down blue/cyan in the sky a few points.
