Today I was able to capture some pretty decent images of a crow attacking a hawk as well as a turkey vulture. Comments and critique welcomed, regards~Bill
Wow! Impressive photo, Bill! Excellent poses and HAs on both birds. I suppose it would be a little better if the crow's head didn't merge with the wing, but that's a very minor point. I like the subtle effect you applied too. Very well done!
Bill, I like the raised foot pose of the hawk. Very nice to get them both in the frame w/ good details. It feels a tiny bit tight on the left. The head merge noted-but the open mouth is great! I can almost hear it's crow. Nicely done.
I love the action you captured here and the sharp detail in the treatment is superb. The behavior of the smaller birds going after the hawks is amazing to me.
