Pretty nice hawk. I like that red eye and the head position.

Sweet pose you captured of this speedy hunter John.
Very sharp and a pleasing composition.

Good look at this hawk, John. Techs and comp are very good and the look on the hawk's face is also interesting.

A great pose, John, and I like the diagonal lines of the bg branches and how they divide the frame. Nicely done.

Nice Cooper's Hawk with a good head turn. The background branches are a little distracting but due to the size of the image in the frame, it pops enough to make it reasonable. Good color and sharpness.
