Another shot of the male at Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal, Quebec. He was extremely but unusually cooperative today.

If you post your shooting data, Hal, our comments would likely be better... About all I can offer is that a lower angle, if possible, would have helped the shot a lot. The blurred stalks along the legs are a bit of a distraction, but not enough to detract.

I agree, a lower angle would have really elevated this image to another level. Do you use flash on this?

A better angle would have been nice, but impossible. I was on the top of a hill and the bird was below alongside the road and there was no way I could get to it. I would have had to follow the road all the way down and it would have been gone by the time I got down. I was better off where I was because eventually the bird flew back up and landed on a tree, with prey, which I will post another time.

Pretty bird. Image is nice but could use a bit of contrast IMO . I also agree about the oof branch by the feet.Getting lower would have been great but may have spooked him
