Cooper's Hawk

I realize the background isn't very exciting with this, and it almost looks posed, but this is pretty much how it came out of the camera. Shot with a Nikon Z8, 800 PF lens w/1.4 tc.

Beautiful shot Scott! Is that all natural lighting?

It actually is. I tried auto adjusting the RAW file in Photoshop, but it brightened it up too much, so I left it alone, except for some tone and contrast adjustments. I actually shot it through a window. It was perched on the clothesline pole in the backyard, staking out the bird feeders.

Superb lighting and detail. More impressive given that it was shot through a window.
