I photographed this Red Shoulder Hawk today at Ding Darling, Sanibel, FL. I used my Sony Alpha 100 with a 50-500 Sigma lens. The data as follows- f/7.1, 1/500, 0 ev, ISO 100, 500mm. Beautiful day, very clrar sky. Not a lot of activity, but kept a little busy. Thanks for looking, John
Sharp. Too contrasty. The blue of the sky is borderline funky. Whites on top of head look burned.
A vertical would have worked well here.

I like the eye contact and perch and wish for a lower angle. The bird looks a bit soft on my monitor and I agree on overexposure of some of the highlights and vertical crop which would allow you to include the 'virtual' tail.
