p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Rough-legged Hawk (4)


I went for a trip today to find some owls and instead I ended up with a few hundred shots from a group of Rough-legged Hawks.

C&C most welcome. Thanks for looking.

WOW... these are simply stunning shots. The first and second are my favourites. The backgrounds are very unique and you managed some great detail. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic images..
The second one looks like a scene from an animation movie to me. Its too good to be true. And the snow flakes in the BG are making it look even more dramatic.
Simply superb.

#2 is very unique and the BG is superb. Your whites on the underside of the wing look a bit washed out. Don

The first image is a stunner. Both the bird's posture and atmospherics/background make this a very strong image.

Very nice work Harry, these are marvelous! Too bad you didn't get your owls but I think you came home with something just as good

Nice frame fillers Harry I'm a sucker for the unique pose and #2 is a classic, love it!

Something special about that last one, it's got mood written all over it

#1 and 2 for me Harry. I love the roughies. It looks to be a good season upcoming as I have had my earliest arrivals ever this year in early Nov.

Bummer without owls but these are worthy of a hard day of work. I would be proud of the fine job you did.

A great set Harry. These are all very nice, and the snow does add to the shots ~ Ron

Nice set Harry! With all the snow yesterday, I was thinking of owls too. Too tied up to even get out to shoot though.

Thanks so much for the comments everyone!

I did push the whites too far on that one and I'm glad you pointed that out since I'm having a large print made and I managed to get a fix in for the blown wing before I sent it off to print. Many thanks for the C&C.

Cheers,
Harry C
