    Thank you so very much! I sell framed prints, this one was refused from the places I hang them as I was told it is to graphic for women and children. I really like it too! Thank you so much!

I'm a bird watcher so I love this! I had a Coopers Hawk eating a bird in my back yard earlier in the year. They are incredible birds. Circle of Life.
Nice shot!
Excellent detail and color!

Yes you were definitely in the right place at the right time...Wondering how fast you managed to get the camera set or were you travelling on auto settings. Magical light and details in the feathers and the eye.

    Thank you. I never shoot auto. He was too busy eating and gave me time.
Comment from Lelia Mullis


The colors in the foreground are vivid in contrast with the subdued hues in the background. The keenness of the eyes is breathtaking, as are the colors of its feathers. The overall picture captured the cycle of life in the natural world. The details in the blades of grass added dimension to the feeling of the scene. The shadows in the left middle added interest to the coloring. I had the feeling something was missing in the right third of the picture.

Great shot, good composition, clear detail of the subject. unobtrusive background making the subject stand out. More that just a record shot.

This is stunning! I love the perfect focus. You captured the hawk at a good vantage point. Clear details and color is a plus. Well don on the photograph. This could be easily used for a story.

SWEET - Fantastic initial impact and composition. Nice depth of field. The angles in the photo are a visual joy, the crescents in the background and the angle of the ground - nice. This hawk is determined, focused and detailed. Thanks for sharing - MOJ

This is just AMAZING, Willie! Your lighting and color is striking, not to mention your depth of field that keeps our eye in place. Such beautiful design found in the plumage of this hawk. Gorgeous photography. Wish I had a six.

Hello Willie

Great initial impact. Sharp and clear with strong colors. Love the head and total focus by the hawk. Excellent detail on head and body.

I think you caught him at the perfect time. He has his meal and nothing is going to interrupt him.

Foreground and background are both excellent. This is a very good catch.

Roger
