 I took this at Davidson College. I was on my way to a meeting when I saw him on a branch. They are beautiful animals.

Great shot of this hawk. Sharp, colors are good. I'd would guess shot more mid day. Early morning or late evening the lighting would had be a little better. Should had score higher imo. I gave you a 6.

Beautiful bird and I like the tree as background. He blends in pretty good!

Lovely and sharp - Shame he blends into the background so much.

I love these birds. Very good shot of the bird but I think the tree distracts from the bird because they are so close in color. It would have been nicer if you had more sky behind the bird.

The tree in the background does not offer a good contrast. It would've been much nicer against a blue sky (a bit to the right?).

Nice capture of a hawk, waiting and watching. The biggest difficulty is that the shot has a lot of contrast. The shadows are hard and dark, and the feathers on the hawk's chest are so bright they've lost detail. It looks like the capture was from the middle of the day, which is a hard time to shoot in the sun, because of exactly this problem. Maybe earlier or later, or wait for a cloudy day?
