Wow; you nailed this capture! And with a nice, soft background, too.

As to entering it to DPC, the advise you got was probably right (but I haven't entered enough in the last few years to even know much about that).

As to the picture, the timing is great, it must have been great for you to be able to capture it. The two version, somehow somewhere in between the two would be ideal (to my eyes). The colour of the birds is beautiful in the edit, but the sky is too intense to me. The birds look clearer in the original, in the edited version they look almost fuzzy.

I agree, awesome rump! I had no idea these things could fly :) Cool shot. You must be a very daring person.

Terrific shot. Perfect capture and the bird really stands out against the creamy greens.

Awesome rump. I wouldn't think these things could ever get all fours off the ground at the same time.

I also think the unedited version is better in this case. It avoids the halo around the hawk. Heavy processing puts me off, but that's my opinion and not everyone is so puristic.
The story is a good one, the picture less so.
