I stumbled upon this hawk. I wasn't paying attention and happened to look up and he was sitting in great light right above me. I had my TC on the 800mm so had to slowly step back to get him in the frame. Thankfully he was patient!

An excellent image, great light and BG.

Beautiful! Well done

Creative work! Background and light make it more attractive.

You're lucky it didn't fly away before you got the shot, that happens so often. Nice capture.

This may go against some forum etiquette rule but I believe he had some important business to take care of before flying away
