Death At Dusk - Cooper's Hawk

This Cooper's Hawk captured a woodpecker in front of myself and a friend just as the sun was setting in a small woods. A sad spectacle, but unfortunately part of nature.

The hawk was backlit and silhouetted against the setting sun, therefore, to save this image, some post-processing tweaking had to be made to extract as much information as possible from the .RAW image file.

Cheers,

Mike

Sublime image, macabre, mais sublime! Y'aurait pû choisir un autre oiseau qu'un pic quand même!!!
