A great action shot here. Great nature contest entry. Well balanced with detail and good exposure.
Good color and even shows the shadow of the beautiful hawk. Amazing creatures and you have captured it beautifully in this image.

What a wonderfully timed action image of the raptor capturing a frog. Color appears very realistic and your composition is good. DOF and focus is great.

Wow! Great shot! Every feather is in focus, and we can see what the hawk is carrying in his mouth too. Subject matter is framed well, light is bright, but not washed out, the inclusion of his shadow on the ground helps to give it depth and dimension. Well done.

Well it looks like this hawk
achieved his goal...and captured his prey! Poor frog,
but that is the realistic fact of nature. It always works to provide and bring forth what is needed. You captured this at just the right moment..
kudos for your excellent eye
and timing in getting this image. Wishing you the best of luck in the competition.

Great take off of a Hawk catching a frog in the process. I would like to see this cropped closer as the larger darker space takes away from the Hawk. The details could be clearer. However it is difficult to thing to capture in flight. Thanks for sharing.

A great shot. It is not too often an opportunity for this sort of action shot comes along and you nailed this one. Very nice detail in both the hawk and the frog. Best of luck in the contest.

WOW! High initial impact, and a great entry for this contest. Great angle and focus showing the clarity of details of the patterns of the wings and its various colors. The colors are natural, resulting from right exposure setting. That body of water is nice element of your composition. Points of improvement, maybe you can still crop a bit from the left, and also from the top. Overall, this is a exciting nature scene.

A beautiful stop action picture of this Osprey in flight with what looks like a frog hanging from it's beak & it's shadow seen on the grass below ,with the river & the trees reflected on it's surface Sen in the background. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
