Greetings from the Critique Club!

Always a pleasure to critique an image of a subject I know well and see often. Lovely colours, great comp, the lighting is gorgeous and for a perched shot, still very dramatic and full of energy - the raindrops do a great job of making it clear what the weather was like and why the redtail has chosen to sit and wait out the rain. Great location too, a fencepost....and you got this with a 150mm. Fantastic work. Can't really find any fault! And I bet if you'd been able to get them coming in to land with that level of sharpness and clarity, that you would have been in the top 3.

Very well done, keep up the good work :-)
