Red-backed Hawk (Aguilucho Común)

[Ramon M. Casares]

Well, another species that was more cooperative then the Adean Condors in my last trip was this one, the Red-backed Hawk, almost every day we had a few individuals visitong us and soaring nearby. This is the Male comming right at me, note the red shoulders, the female has no red in her back. Hope you like it. Enjoy!!

C&C are welcome!

Hope you like it...

Ramon, you are a humble fellow...

This is a stunning image, love everything about it, and even though I am not big fan of white skies, this one, worked out perfectly.

Beautiful raptor and great eye contact.

Saludos.

The eye contact in this is amazing, and love the full wingspread. Excellent exposure on the underwing Ramon, and I would maybe darken the sky a little. Great capture.

[Dave Barnes]

Another super shot Ramon. I like the detail and eye contavct captured.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I love the small splash of the three primary colours in an otherwise monochromatic looking image. Excellent wingspread too. Love the comp. Is the purplish tinge to the primaries natural, or a cast that needs to be fixed?

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great details, exposure control and pose, the red makes this very interesting. Do you have an image with topside view, too?

[Doug Brown]

Sure do like this one Ramon! Great wing detail and eye contact. I agree with Daniel about the visual impact of the little splashes of color.

[Steve Canuel]

This is really nice Ramon. Super sharp, a nice look from a very nice looking subject. I like the soft transluscence of the trailing edge of the wings
