    Hi Steve,
    This is great. Terrific IQ and landing position of a fairly unusual hawk.
    I like the DOF and the fanned tail and dangling talons,
    Gail

    Steve, I can't add much but I can add my congratulations.

    Wow this is awesome!! Great techs, light, pose. As a print this would be a tad tight in the frame but it presents itself nicely for web presentation.
