...or maybe he is.
I was able to move around a bit to get different (better?) shots of him.

Great job getting a good view of this raptor without any distacting twigs in the way. Always a challenge. Focus is a little soft, perhaps a faster shutter speed.

Nice pose and a good job getting the open shot of the hawk, Holly. I think you could have gone with a wider aperture and faster shutter speed to get a crisper image. You don't mention what lens you're using, but even f8 would have given you a little more shutter speed and every bit helps when you're hand holding.

Hi Holly,
I agree with Dennis, additionally at this small size it's hard to evaluate the image, you should post at the normal limit of 720 pixels on the long side at least.

A good open view of the hawk; you were lucky. I agree the focus is off, either back focusing or camera movement, hard to tell with this small an image.
