That's certainly an interesting picture,Lori!
It shows us an important aspect of Nature remarkably well and your photo of this raptor making wise use of a dead animal's ( probably ) still warm carcass makes for an Out of the Ordinary scene indeed!

This is sadly the circle of life and the story of survival, you have captured this well to tell this story of the hawk feeding from the deer..this is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are natural, well composed in natural surroundings! Well presented!
