Very nice.

Thank you. The first and third are my two favorites. I transferred those from my camera to my phone wirelessly, so maybe the edits i do later on of the actual files will come out a bit better.

Thank you. I'm happy with how they came out too. I don't keep many photo's nor show off one's i'm not proud of lol. This lens is sharp enough for me! I was very happy with the quality, even at 600mm with a 1.6x crop sensor. I shot at f11 all the way through i believe.

Well done!

So exciting (and rare) to get a hawk that will pose for you.

Thank you! I actually walked out the back door to photograph some little birds around the yard and i am always looking up in the trees wherever i am to see if i can spot any raptors and i spotted this one about 40 yards out and maybe 20 feet up scoping out the area. So i shot a bunch of photo's where i was standing and slowly moved my way closer to it. I heard it the few times i visited this house over the past month but finally spotted it the other day. First raptor pics for me! At one point he was eyeing me bad through my lens, i felt like a sniper had spotted me lol.

Nice set, the edits look a little cold to me (non calibrated monitor).

It could be because I used "click" white balance. The "daytime" white balance was too warm. What would you do?
