    Harris's Hawk

    Workshop: Roma, TX.

    D3, 600VR, ISO 640, f7 @ 1/1250, -0.3EV.

    Bird baited. I used PS to break up the hard cut edge of the log on the left side.

    Hi Alan,
    Beautiful bird, BG and is very sharp. I would like to have a little more room on top and to the left.

    Great light, pose, sharpness, and Photoshop work. Was this from the am or the pm blind? Roel says "Hi."

    I love this one. Outstanding pose, BG, and exposure. Sharpness is spot on. I might add a little canvas above the birds tail. Keep them coming!

    Can't ask for more sharpness!

    Beautiful bird, lovely light and great perch. A very fine image indeed.

    Congrats.

    Stunning light, pin sharp, and showing excellent detail. I like the posture captured in this. The comp works well, although I would maybe add a bit to the top. Congrats.

    Ho hum, just another really well done Alan Murphy image! ;)
    Nice processing and the pose is unique! (kick the horse category) I would also add a small amount of canvas.

    Hi Alan: This is an absolutely killer pose and photograph, baited or not. Your BG is clean and the crop work well. PS looks good since I didn't even notice it, even after knowing about the work. I don't think more canvas would add to this photograph. The focus is the behavior/pose, and that is extremely well depicted in this capture just the way you have it.

    Super pose from the bird and great light. Wouldn't have done it any other way.
