To my amazement, it landed about 30ft away from my location and started to devour its prey. Unfortunately, it did so with its back to me (and the sun) and slightly downhill from my position. So, I couldn't actually record the action but only capture it when the hawk raised its head to check on me.
Nice one John. Pity about missing the action but you definitely got the "checking you out over my shoulder" look. The light looks great as does the BG.
Terrific eye contact and good use of an awkward light angle John.
Perhaps you could try selectively lightening the dark upper right quadrant of the background?
