Description

I just read of a new sighting of a rough-legged hawk that is right where I shot this one last year at this time. I’m excited to go look for it and try my luck with my Z9, 180-600, and 1.4 TC if I can find it.

Specific Feedback

Cropping?

Great catch here, Dave. Nice wing and tail spread. Best of luck with the new sighting.

Nice shot of this hawk, Dave. It looks like you have your color spaces all set now. Your last several images have been spot on.

Hi Dave, nice pose you caught - love the spread wings and fanned tail. Good view of the eye. Feather details looks soft to me - maybe from the big crop. Still a fine catch of a great bird.

Great flight shot. You caught a nice pose and I like how you composed the image.
