Looking for Prey

Good pose, perch and background. The highlights are a little blown on the breast and could use some recovery.

This is a Red-tailed Hawk, not a Cooper's Hawk. You got a good size subject in the frame, assuming this isn't cropped a lot, but the highlights got blown in exposure or during post processing.

I agree with others concerning the blown highlights on the breast. If you shot this in raw you should be able to recover some detail there, even opening up the shadows a little would help. There is decent sharpness to the image. I would try to re-work the image, it would be worth the time.

The details and composition are very good. I agree with Richard about the blown highlight. Adjusting the highlight/shadow might help. It would also be better if the bird looks at the camera a bit. It is still a nice image as it is.
