    Very sharp with a nice complimentary BG color. Wing position could be a little more dynamic.

    Mike-

    It looks like it may have been on a glide to prey or at least I have seen that look many times when they are zeroed in on target.

    I would give you two thumbs up. Well done.

    Hey Mike: This is my favorite BIF image I've seen in recent weeks by far. I love everything about the subject and the background. The light is perfect and the image is sharp. Well done.

    Mike: I am with Danny. This is an awesome BIF. What I like most, is that the tail is featured in this lovely capture. You also have a lovely BG and a nice HA.

    Very nice! Sharp but needs some less sharpening IMO.

    Great flight image that shows the red tail well. The BG goes perfectly with the hawk!

    This is real nice Mike. Good flight pose and detail. Only wish the wings were either up or down but even still this is great.

    Superb. Love the red tail that stands out. I like the wing position, especially the turned up wing tips. You should be able to market this to SWA.
