Cooper's Hawk being chased

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

It’s nesting season and I’ve seen hawks and others being chased by the little birds around. This is a kingbird and Red-winged blackbird in hot pursuit.

Technical Details

Canon R7, 400mm f4 DO IS II, 1.4x extender III
ISO 2500, f6.3, 1/2500s

This makes me laugh…tis the season for bird drama for sure…and very difficult to capture in flight with 3 species. A good story, particularly when I view on monitor and can see the expression on the hawks face!

Very nice catch, Allen. I see this frequently but I either don’t have the camera or they don’t line up nicely.

Allen, I think it’s insanely cool to get three different species in the frame in this scenario. Nicely done.

Allen, I’ve seen “tripple chase scenes”, but never imagined getting all three birds sharp in a single frame. Way to go!

Definitely tells a story and to get all three in focus, amazing. Great shot.

I am still hoping for one of the camera companies to provide the dynamic range for a photograph like this. (blue sky & clouds)
