Colors are lovely and the hawk is in a nice position in the frame.

where's waldo? Ah there he is. ;)
greeeaaat light i've only seen something quite similar as beautiful a light as this in iceland...
i don't like the orange part of the frame, the black single one would've been enought imo. otherwise awesome shot and the hawk gives this a deep emotional tension! 9

Very nice sky photo but... the directions say, "Here's the catch: the subject must not become a silhouette because of the backlighting." If the hawk is the subject, you are not using backlighting to enhance it. To my mind, the light is the subject of this photo.

Nice image - Great rays of light - Wish the hawk was lower to make it easier to see as he gets a little lost in the clouds - Great colours.
