    The bird looks sharp with good feather details, I also like the jungle feeling environment of this shot. Wish the bird turns a little toward you and the head does not merge with perch. Not sure if the bird is too center, maybe less space on the left.

    I like the focused stare of the hawk, and you've got good sharpness for 1/60. I don't know if moving to your right was possible, but it would have helped get the bird's head clear of the perch.

    The biggest letdown is the lack of a good head angle. I think composition-wise is as good as you probably could get. :)
