Taking flight

Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

I had shot a few bald eagles (that sounds so wrong), and was leaving the park and saw the pretty pines. I said “why can’t an eagle be sitting in one of those pretty green trees”, and then I said “oh my gosh, there is something!” And that something was a hawk. Got a few pix of it sitting in the tree, and then several as it took off. Best picture of a hawk I had ever taken.

Technical Details

600mm, shutter priority

Judi, nice take off pose - I really like the spread out wings and tail you captured and nice look at the eye. The pine is a fine perch to add interest to the image.

I like the pose and having the tree adds to the image. Nicely captured.

Thank you for your kind comments! I need to delete it tho since I posted two in one day in the same category, I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed. But I can’t find how to delete the image….thanks!

Judi,
No need to delete a post. Just fyi for next time.

Enjoy seeing your work.

Ok, thank you for the information. I will remember that. :).
