Roadside Hawk II
Well, yesterday he didn't even sohwed up, but today, he finally did after 3 hours of waiting, best light and better distance IMO although I had to work a bit on the BG. Hope you like it!

Beautiful background, and great light on the bird. I might crop a little off the bottom - he somehow looks a bit high up in the frame to me.
Cool pose, good sharpness, light, eye contact and blurred BG. The bird looks pretty clean considering the prey. I would still give add a bit of canvas and tone down the legs a bit. Did you increase the color temperature?
No Axel, I just give a tad more of Saturation.Originally Posted by Axel Hildebrandt
I like comp as presented in this case adding canvas on top would center the bird too much to me.
The legs a very light, I guess I could try to bring more detail but that's preety much how they are :)
Love the pose, light, composition, details, perch and complimentary BG! I'd wait three hours to get this one any day! Congrats!
Congratulations Ramon, Another outstanding image. Love the HA, perch and think the comp is just fine. The leg is a bit bright but it dosn't really take away from the overall picture.

Hello Ramon,
Very nice continuation of the series. I like the composition apart from the rest of the things mentioned. Well done again.
Well worth the wait Ramon. This is one fine image. I like the comp. as is.
Fabulous image amigo. Love the pose and look back stance. Killer light and BG. What is the kill? Do you know? Thanks for sharing. :)
Ramon,
What a great subject and head angle, and the warm light makes it all come together. Great work! I think the chest, belly and left side of the perch might be a tad hot but perhaps my screen's a bit too bright.
Very rich details and colors, love the pose of the bird, so well captured.
Wow, very impressive. A true testimonial to patience, waiting for him for two days.
BG looks awesome to me.
Hey amigo, I should know as I placed it there :) it is a piece of a Hare that a Dog in my farm killed a while ago, I cut it and put it in my refrigerator :eek: seriously, I did that... and just today I decided to use a piece.:)
Actually, I waited for arround three hours every day for the last two weeks Fabs :o.
Congrats again Ramon!
This is a great bird to work with. Love the pose, perch and BG. I find the image a little bright for my taste but that's it.
Awesome image lovely, colours, pose and a super looking BG. Congrats in capturing this one

Perfect pose, and I like the light, detail and colours. This is pin sharp, against a killer BG. Another superb image of this hawk. Congrats Ramon.
Well your better than I am, but...
Pose and BG are great. Overexposed to me, at 2/3 stop. Don't under why you would do that, althought people say I underexpose. I would also add more contrast, but that's personal taste.

Daniel, I always tend to overexpose as much as I can (without getting any hot whites of course) to get as less noise as possible in the dark areas.

Ramon I thin you have got the comp spot-on here with the diagonal of the bird, the exposure looks good but I think you may have got the legs a bit hot due to the saturation, not a big nit as this is an exceptional image...congrats
Fantastic shot. Great BG, composition and head turn.

Sure I do like it. Maybe it is even better than the previously posted. Nice headturn and sharpness is killer.

I like the smoothness of the BG and it's colors as it compliments the subjects' colors. Composition, sharpness, colors, perch, head rotation all work very well in this image. Congratulations!
Me too. Lovely image, and like the glimpse of prey.

It's worth buying a ticket to Argentina for this one...
I like this side of the perch much better,
The BG and colors are excellent, outstanding work.
Yeap, I have a few more that I really like with this side of the perch and one that I'll be posting soon. :)
Hi Ramon:
I celebrate that you decide to wait, I like the pic very much, especially the light and the details shown in the whole bird. Excellent work.
