Sandy: You know I’m not a bird guy but this is excellent. Magnificent critter and great behavior shot. Most excellent. >=))>

Beautiful bird and though that piece it has doesn’t look too nutritious, I suspect it found plenty. The missing feet don’t bother me in this case-that perch more than makes up for them.

Great perch, pose and that red eye is gripping! A super BG too. Five stars.

Great catch here Sandy - love behavioral shots like this and this hawk is magnificent. Fine details on the bird and the rocky perch is great. Well done.

Pretty much what has already been said. Spectacular shot. Subject, environment, composition, the whole deal.
