What an awesome bird to have as a frequent back yard visitor!! You captured a nice pose that really shows off the tail and wing markings so nicely. Good detail of his face and eye too.

    Many thanks for your great review! And to think my husband was going to cut the tree down since it was dead!

A spectacular shot of the young red tailed hawk. Superb eye clarity that just draws you into your photography. Your lighting, sharp focus reveals incredible details on the feathers and markings of this gorgeous Hawk. Best of wishes in the contest. Your diffused background compliments your photography beautifully. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Wow what an incredible capture of this hawk.
Beautiful view of its detailed feathers and the scenery could not be more perfect.
It almost matches the birch which makes this such an intriguing and beautiful shot! Really an eye catcher!
Best wishes in the contest!

A beautiful picture of this Red tail Eagle perched in the leafless Silver Birch it's wings outspread to dry in the sunshine & breeze. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus so we could should we wish to count all it's flight feathers.

Cool!
Your photo of this young Raptor attempting to dry it's wing feathers makes for a pleasantly unusual Avian Image that's very enjoyable to view!
'Good Show',my friend! : )

This is a beautiful and interesting subject, I love the composition with this red tailed hawk in a tree with beautiful. Position of the wings! I especially like the colors and tones in the Hawk being so similar to the colors and tones in the trees. Your focus on the wings is good, the wings show good detail, focus on the face and eye is a bit soft, especially on the beak. I'm not sure if the upload to this sight caused the loss of focus, if so , you might try to re upload it. I appreciate your effort! The viewer will always look for a nice clear eye when viewing photographs of birds!

Very nice and detailed image of this young hawk. The fact that he was drying in the sun makes it possible to see details that would not normally be visible. Good focus and color. Well seen. Good lick in the contest.

Wowow! I think this one will be the winner. The bird is awesome! It shows the most of his feathers. The profile of the hawk reminds me of the old Roman flag/symbol. Pleasure to review!!!
