Fabulous capture Hope! The detail in the feathers is awesome. I had such a good chance at one yesterday, even posed for me..but the lens did not come through for me and what I got was not worth posting. He looks so magnificent from this POV!

[Kathy]

Great shot. You were able to capture the different colors (which I didn't know very much about until I researched the type of hawk I took yesterday). I love the wing spread and the action that is captured, too.
