Coronation Day

This hawk looked so regal, with his/her "crown" standing out from the wind.   I think, this is a young red tailed hawk...but not sure.  Even though the perch is so mundane, I thought him/her "highness" worthy of this post sad

The wind did make for a really nice hairdo, Lucy.  Nice image quality.  The angle is a bit steep, but that's an occupational hazard shooting these since they like to perch high.

Love this pic Lucy! Agree that the angle is a bit steep, although it does fit nicely with the hawk eye he is giving you.  Great color.  I might suggest that you take out the few feathers on the back.  They dont add value for me.  Keep up the good work!
