Well hello Vicki! Thank you very much for visiting. This is the same hawk that appears in "Sunset Serenity" but from a different angle. The glare was a problem since I had to be at this angle, but the bokeh may have made it acceptable--I don't know. Would appreciate any comments from everybody on the background/glare. I was just happy I got a better angle with "Sunset Serenity".

Thanks again for visiting. #5661050
