[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The original file was shot through Adobe RGB color profile. Before posting, I should have converted the file to sRGB color profile, but I simply forgot to do that... That's why colors (mainly in the sky) look strange...

This is the same species featured on my previous post, although the previous one was a juvenile.

This shot was taken in a local park called Mocambo. Lots of birds can be seen in the place. I've recently talked to a biologist who is studying the birds in the place, and, according to him, more than 100 bird species have already been found in the area.

Hi Livio,

Mocambo sounds wonderful - you are so lucky to have access to so many bird species. I'm jealous! Nice pose on this hawk and his eyes really pop out. I like the composition with the diagonal branch.

There is a interesting symmetry to this photo with the curve in the branch and the crook in subject's neck. Nice composition. Great blue sky background. Intense eyes. Although there is distance, the focus is sharp.

Hi Livio,
it is great to see how the bird checks out something (it's not you, is it?). Nice composition with the curved branch.
Cheers, JAcob

Hello Livio,
That bird looks mighty curious about something, possibly you. Excellent timing. I don't see a problem with colors. I don't convert to sRGB myself; didn't know had to do that before uploading, didn't know you could do that. Regards,
Hakan

Hello Livio!
Great shot. That look could kill ;)
Superb composition.

Hi Livio,
Amazingly sharp image, even the object is a bit small, still can see details of this bird.
Very nice shot.

Livio,
Interesting look as the bird is "checking" you :)
Difficult light & shadow, but well managed..
Just a suggestion. If you want anyone other than TN members to find this publication on the net, you should include ID either in the title, or first sentence of your text mf. I had to go looking through your previous posts to discover it was a "Crested Caracaras".

Nice shot Livio.
Pity it was shot against the light and therefore does miss some clarity and detail in the feathers and eyes of the bird.
Composition is very good and the bird does stand out wonderfully against the blue sky.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards, Harry

Hi Livio

Hahaha...still checking...he must be very curious :))
Another very beautiful shot and also a splendid pose captured from this gorgeous bird!
The eye-contact here is ipressive and the details are very sharp.
The colors are great and despite the difficult contrast with the lovely blue sky, you mamaged to compensate very well with your fill-in flash.

Bravo and TFS

Uma foto muito boa a ave te observando enquanto voce fotografa o segundo plano com o céu azul destaca bem o primeiro, meus parabéns.

Wow Livio, this one certainly has its eye on you. It looks wonderful against the lovely blue sky. Due to the good sharpness its underside can be seen clearly. Nice one.
Cheers,
Debbie
