    What a great reminder of this wonderful subject Ramon. The comp works well, and I really like the light, detail and colours in this. Well timed to capture him pulling at the bait. I would maybe burn the right leg slightly, otherwise, a very pleasing image.

    so did we...
    Light is amazing, very well composed (out of the camera).
    I like the pose, exposure and BG.

    Stuart, I've already burned a little the legs, but I didn't want to over do it as they are actually preety bright :)

    Amigo
    THis is super. After seeing the thumbnail I was hoping you visited again. Never mind, still great to see this hawk. I loved your series and thanks for reminding me of them! :)

    I remember this series and this one looks great, too. I particularly like the sharpness, angle and BG and would only lighten the shadow on the right leg and tone down the legs.

    Ramon, I like the colors in the BG and the saturation on the bird is perfect. Nice sharp eye. Fantastic details.

    Thanks Artie, I said in the description that it was baited, I will check the previous posts to see if I forgot to indicate it in any of them but during the whole time in the descriptions I only talked about how challenging it was to make this guy perch :)
    Forgive my ignorance.. but what does SH stands for? I know HA is Head Angle :o

    Thanks Ramon. I did not think to look in the EXIF for the baited info. SH = sharpness.
