pine cone perch *

This red-shouldered hawk perches regularly in the pine tree across from my driveway. He's my nemesis and taunts me to catch him in flight...so far he's winning, but I haven't given up.

1/1000s f/9.0 at 400.0mm iso400 full exif

With this photo, I would say that you are winning, Michael. You captured him in that unique position on the pinecone, and at a time when the light was perfect. And as mentioned by Gaurav and Mike, great detail and clarity! Bev

Beautiful color, lighting and clarity in this hawk...nicely "framed" by the arrangement of branches. Good contrast against the blue-sky background. I especially like the detail and patterning in the feathers..and the catch of expression in that watchful, red eye. Nice shot, Michael. MFC
