I like this perspective as it gives you a sense that you are flying with the Hawk from above these are such
amazing birds to watch and photograph:)

Jim - It appears that you are in hawk heaven out there in CA. I assume you are up on one of those CA hills looking down a little on these birds. This is a beautiful shot but doesn't have the color that the others had. All fun to look at though. Keep it up.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

I agree. Photographing these from the top gives a feeling of flying along with them.

[Fabs Forns]

Yes, lovely perspective and great monochromatic look with the BG almost matching the bird's hue. I may try and soften the line behind him.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Sharpness, angle and eye contact look good. I might increase the saturation a few points.

[Stu Bowie]

James, you are killing me with your series of these guys. Great dorsal view, sharp, and love the fanned tail. Another great capture.

[Morkel Erasmus]

it also gives you the chance to see great detail on the back and hind-wing feathers as they are spread out.
tack sharp with strong composition Jim...

Beautiful top down view against a nice BG, well done James, I might pop the saturation a little bit.

James, Really nice perspective. Details and eye contact look very good. Great capture.
