Roadside Hawk IV (and the last one for now)
Well, again with this species, this time an image that was created a few days ago, as you can see the perch is from the first posts. In this case he is screeching (not sure if that's the right word :o) Hope you like it; this will be my last post of this wonderful guy as for the next few days I'll not be able to work with him :(. Enjoy.
Comments, critiques and suggestions are very welcome and apreciated.

Really a great image!!!
I Iove the pose/eye contact,perch,warm colors and the bg......congrats!!!
The eyes are just killer and I love the open beak. The DOF is really nice here and love the BG and light angle. Very good job :-)
Superb eye contact Ramon, and the open beak takes this over the top. Super comp, detail and colours, and pin sharp. I find this is a tad darker compared to the other images you have posted. Still, an outstanding series, and thanks for sharing.
Yes Stuart, the other one that I posted from this session (second one of all three I had with this Bird) was a too bright so I corrected my edition in this one.Originally Posted by Stuart Bowie
Gorgeous Ramon - Big congrats - love the open beak pose - Sweet light and Lunch to boot!!!
Great job :)
this is the best of the series IMO,the eyes the mouth open,BG,cheers.
Thanks Christopher, I have to confess that it is my favorite too :)
This is best among the series, what a beautiful shot this is
Thanks for sharing

Better and better Ramon! Good work and thanks for sharing this wonderful series.
Another super post Ramon. I like this one the most. The pose with the eye contact and open bill makes it for me.
You saved the best for last, Ramon. Congrats!
Super pose and bg. Great comp and well exposed. Super shot well done
Did you do cloning bottom left. Black halo on the left of the branche
Last one and you saved the best for last. It is "KILLER" , no pun intended.
Another fantastic shot of this beauty. Congratulations!
WOW - tremendous shot, congratulations, you nailed it!!
Wonderful, Ramon. A delight to see.
Sweet image love the pose and calling/open mouth, sweet light, and prey item all make a great image.
No clining there Kobus, but I did brighten that area as it was too dark, the Halo you see are some shadow remains :o I should've done it better I guess :).
Great series and you put the crown on it with this last image. Tecs are great as with the previous images, but the open beak makes this a winner for me. I have to say I preferred the other perch though. Big congrats for this series, Ramon.
Stunning pose in superb light. Great OOF BG and love the expression on the face! Superb Photography!
Great Image Roman, My best of the series too.. to open bill makes this and those white eyes I love them, it reminds me of our White eyed buzzard. congrats...
Love the prey, the wonderful light, and the cool screeching pose. What a great opportunity for you!

No suggestions on how to improve on this image. The details, pose, light and eyes are as good as one could hope for. Congratulations !
Excellent pose detail and colours. Congrats on another super image
Chris Kotze
Excellent capture. Beautiful bird, pose, BG and light. It really comes together. Well done.
Great image Ramon, this photograph oozes Raptor and I love Raptors, can't fault it in any way.
This is my favorite of the posted series. You made excellent work of the opportunity you and this bird created.
I just want to say "Great Shot" but I know better!
What makes this a great shot?
Exposure, Sharpness, Composition, Color Temperature, Background, Beautiful Subject and Great Action!
Congratulations!
Catchlight?
Thanks James, I apreciate the kind words :)
There is a catchlight actually, but in web size it got lost in those bright eyes :o
Take a look in this 100% crop.
Well then, that's the complete package!
Ramon I missed some of the posts, but I gather you made full use a fantastic, dream-quality opportunity. Well done, all has been said, I can just echo:-)
As we are moving ahead in the row the images are even better.
