A very nice shot Jeff. As butterflysis pointed out great boke and dof. Colors and sharpness set a beautiful feel.
Here come the druthers (IMO)... Technically a very good crop leaving open space in the direction the hawk is looking...however that open area is quite busy here. The branches in focus all going in several directions create a pattern that draws my eye to that area. At the very least I would clone out the very dark twig that is pointing straight up from lead branch, I might also clone or blur that "naked" twig that is just to the left of the hawks mid section. Ultimately if all that remained in that open space was the main branch the thick branch jutting up to the left, I feel my attention would be directed back to the hawk. An 8x10 crop with the hawk in the right 2/3s might help remove some of the distractions on the left as well.
Just me but I would like to see a tad bit more light in the area of the eye to bring out a little more detail.
Great shot with excellent sharpness and clarity. |

| I think you've got a terrific shot here. It looks like the front feathers ('chest' area) are a wee bit sharper than it's head/beak/eye, but it doesn't take away from the image at all. The bokeh/dof is really great. I love all the different colors. It really makes the bird stand out. Nice comp. and I like the square crop as well. Great job. |
