 This is the Cooper's Hawk that terrorizes my backyard feeders. This photo was taken right after it chase the crows away. Not completely satisfied with the photo, but it been so long since I entered a challenge I thought I'd throw caution to the wind.

Good capture but doesn't seem too sharp.

Composition is ok here, though I wish the tail weren't cut off. I'd like to see a little more detail in the bird as well.

good composition and the background works as a good contrast.

Very pretty colors; the smooth background makes the bird stand out well. Could use some more sharpness on the feathers and eyes.
