Bird on a hot tin roof 2

I guess you can’t get a lot of love for Hawks on a hot tin roof. This Hawk landed a few minutes after the firsts one and I enjoyed watching them hop around on the roof. The shot is hand-held and cropped by 20% into a 16 by 9 frame. I made some highlight, and clarity adjustment in Lightroom.

Two neat over the shoulder looks. Good catch!

Nice detail and I like the look on the left hand hawk.

This one is really cool, Peter. The composition works very well and I like them being higher up on the roof and not having that lower edge showing.

The hawk on the left looks like it is not happy with you taking its picture Peter. Nice to get really good detail and depth in both of them.
