Hi
I guess you used the Better Beamer and flash as fill, great job.

Pleasing image of the hawk. I like the perch and background. The bird looks a bit soft. I don't know if this was a result of a larger crop or noise reduction, although at ISO 400, I wouldn't think there would be much noise on the 7D. There are also 2 catch lights in the eye, one from the sun and one from the flash. I would remove one of them.

Beautiful soft light...I would not have guessed flash was used if not for the catchlights. For some reason, your larger version shows much better details; smaller version does look soft. A gorgeous bird and nice pose. Sharon
