This photo taken at my friend June's yard in front of the park with the agressive Cooper Hawks. Fun day even with the temp at a cool 104 F. Was 110 F last week.
Wish the lamp was black :D
Comments invited and very much appreciated.

HI Gus....You got a nice head angle on this guy and the perch is terrific but This shot looks oversharpened to me in the birds feathers. This could be from the harsh lighting! It would also be nice to have more room on the right for the bird to look into. You might also consider taking out some of the distracting blue color in the bg. TFS
Hi Gus Its hot out there :) .. we are not that far behind here !!
Agree with Bob !! Light is harsh and bird might have not razor sharp then sharpened? Do like the pose and perch !! Very pretty lady !! ... would try re working this one
Hi Gus, Bob made some good points regarding the harsh lighting and the removal of the blue in the backround.
It does appear a bit tight by the tail on the left and bottom also. You did capture a good pose...
Hi Gus - agree with the above comments - bird does seem to be lacking fine feather detail.
The harsh light is a issue - softer light would have improved.
Looking forward to seeing more :)
