On Hawk Watch

I was chasing the sun on this pic and barely captured it before I lost light. Personally, I like pics like this that have a lot of contrast with the golden light. It also seems to me all other colors appear more brilliant that time of day. Thanks for looking.

Awesome set Kirk - yea, I agree about the contrast & colors. That lighting makes for a more "richer" image. I like #2 the best.

Kirk, have you thought about a square crop for the top photo? I'm wondering if cropping out that brightly lit out of focus mound at our left would allow the eye to concentrate more easily on Monsieur Rodent.

I hadn't thought of doing that because I like the sun light hitting part of the wood and not other parts, creating a lot of contrast and it would also crop out some of the background that I like but I'll do it for you. I don't mind seeing it others ways.

Isn't it interesting how we like parts of our photos that are independent from the erstwhile subject?
