Lovely light, Mary. Reminds me of the Dutch masters. You have caught him looking very contemplative.

This is very enjoyable presentation and story to go with it. The photos are sharp and detailed. It must have been enthralling to watch him play like that. Hawks seem so serious and dignified. It's wonderful that you have shown they can be playful too!

I have these visiting my bird feeder also. When I go outside they always take off. I love the noises they make and the way they bob their heads when they walk. They looks so clueless! :)

The DOF is great and I wouldn't change a thing. Nice lines with the tree framing and curve of the branch. Beautiful capture with great coloration!

Sharpness on the subject, with good isolation and great bokeh make this a sweet shot.

Nicely captured Mary. Very good details and your background is again beautifully muted.
