Happened to be at a window when this hawk glided by at eye level through my backyard; I went to the other end of the house and scanned the trees, hoping he hadn't just passed right through and found him just outside - I could not have stepped outside with flushing him out, so I had to take the picture through a window (with no screen). Lots of little branches caused that patterning, even though it looks like I just took the picture through a screen.
A straightforward and potentially boring composition, but with wildlife shots you take what you can get.

I think Andrew summed it up pretty good there. Most of your low scorers have probably not been involved in taking bird shots. I personally think it's hard to get a good photo of them. I think this looks great for having been shot thru a screen! It gave the background a very interesting textured look that I liked a lot.
really good effort , looks like it was taken in the wild. Unfortunately difficult shots like these will be underrated to those more technically appealing shots that were taken in the zoo, 6
