Common Black Hawk

[Lorant Voros]

These hawks are sitting close to the boats of fisherman at Rio Lagartos, waiting for some catch that they could have. This photo was taken on an overcast morning using flash.

Lorant:

Nice subtle use of flash, would not of suspected except for the slightly funky looking eye.
The pose make him look quite blocky.

I might be tempted to crop a bit from top, and add a bit on right. This would certainly make it more squarish, which some folks don't like, so just a matter of personal taste.

Cheers

I might try a horizontal with some room on the right. Still a fine image with great detail and good use of fill.

I'd definitely fix its eye! Looks good otherwise, crop and all. :)
