Good finish Chris! The focus on the eyes is really good and the composition really works. I think the only thing that could make this better is a little fix on the beaks blown out area.
Ooo, very cool capture. I like the background, as it really helps to define the hawk. Sadly, the top of it's nose is blown out. The lights in the eyes are nice; gives a sense of depth.
Nice photo. Good details in the eyes. I would like to see the beak a little more in focus. Also the details at the crest of the beak are washed out and lost.
Something I've noticed with most bird shots is that either the eyes or the end of the beak are in sharp focus, not both. I've never shot birds but maybe a smaller aperture would help
