Took this in Central Florida-Not sure if perch is too busy but I liked the colors and it was nice to get away from the ordinary blue sky shots. Also is the crop too tight?

[david cramer]

The setting isn't too busy for me. I like how your composed it, but a little more room would help. Very nice detail.

Denise - I like the crop and the perch. Of course, I really like red-shouldered hawks, they can be so cooperative.
All the technicals look great to me.
Very nice
Cheers

Very nice capture Lady Denise,
I like the the details and natural facial expression on your bird, the color rendition is dead on and your details are sharp...the perch is not tight at all, the multi colored background is superb. My only recommendation would be to add just a tad more to the bottom...congrats...:cool:

Very nice Denise. great detail and well composed. I would suggest a little more room below if possible, but given what we can see of the perch, I suspect it would be too busy. nice HA too!

[denise ippolito]

Sorry guys there is no room on bottom-this is almost full frame.

[Nonda Surratt]

I like it as presented Denise! Great colors and light

[Lance Peters]

Hi Denise - like it as presented - like the inquisitive look. Well done:)

Hey Denise, I love it and the perch looks good to me. I'm not the expert, but I love BG too. Adjusting to the cold? It was 80 here today.........

[denise ippolito]

Richard, It was 70 degrees here yesterday!!:p But ya it has been cold-I flew into a snowstorm which landed 10 inches!!!

[KurtPreston]

Love the detail and the pose! Looks good as is.
