Juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk

I was shooting flowers with a photo group at a local park, when a juvenile red-tailed hawk flew in and perched on a lamp post near bye. The only lens I had with me was a 105 mm macro. I grabbed a few shots before he flew away! This is a deep crop, but I think it came out OK.

I wouldn't have known it was a deep crop if you hadn't mentioned it. Nice capture.

It came out really great Larry. I couldn't tell from viewing this that you had cropped it.

Thanks Alan, I guess the Sigma 105mm macro is a really sharp lens. That capture was made on camera with a cropped sensor (1.5) and it still looks great even when blown up to 16X20!

Thanks Jim very happy with the results, especially from a camera with a cropped sensor (1.5)!
