    Here's one from Corkscrew Swamp what a cool place.

    Canon 1DmkIII 500mm f4 2x 580ex2, Tripod, Manual exposure 1/200 @ f9 Iso 400, Flash -2/3.

    Great pose, details and eye contact. I find the branch above a bit distracting and might remove one of the catchlights. Is this a juvenile bird?

    If you get stuck with a distracting branch like this, let's look at the positive side. Immediately I though of florida and their cool air plants. I guess this kind of establishes a sense of place. Any other distracting branch just would not tell us where you took this. ;-)

    Corkscrew is what it is, glad you found something to photograph, we were not so lucky last week-end!

    I love the nice color, light, and pose. The branch above with that dried leaf provides a frame and environmental setting and is not a real problem. The only think I might remove is the small, vertical, out of focus branch directly above the hawk's head.

    Beautiful colors. I actually like the framing upper branch, but agree on the small twig over the birds head. I find the brown leaf on the rear branch a bit distracting, but overall, a very nice image.
