Road-side Hawk and happy Hollidays to all BPN!!

[Ramon M. Casares]

Hi everybody, this year has been very special to me, I have achieved a lot of goals and I am very happy to be finishing this 2009 the way I am, bussy as **** and with terrific projects to come such a great two-months trip thru all Latinamerica that will start next march!!!
Here's one the images that I have enjoyed more creating, as it is definately the species that took me the most preparation, time and patient, to get this guy I spent in my chair-blind arround 3 hours every afternoon for almost two months, this is actually a very easy species to see but at the same time is everything but tame, I managed to get this bird on my perches only three times in those two months.
With this shot I want to wish everybody a very happy hollidays and also I wish that you all start the 2010 with great energy and great light!

Enjoy.

Ps: I owe you the settings, sorry :(

Feliz año nuevo para tí y los tuyos Ramón :)

I remember this series of images of the roadside hawk and I liked a lot except by the grasses in the base of the perch bu, man, sharpness and light are just superb. Hope to see many more good images from you in the coming year

un fuerte abrazo

Great image of this hawk! I like the sharpness and killer BG.

[Stu Bowie]

Ramon, fantastic light, colours and detail, and overall so sharp. Superb angle, and the piece of fur from his kill puts it over the top. Your patience paid off. Well done.

Ramon, Fantastic image. I love the sharp details and the perch most especially. I also like the fur in it's mouth. Just lovely! HNY to you also.:)
