Better photo nuthin'. These guys live at my house, and I've never seen a better photo of a hawk, not even from all of the photographers on Hawk Mountain, just a few miles away. You could start a whole new website, bestphoto.com. #8291961

If ever there were a case for a re-submit, Carol, this is it. From the fantastic color-coordinated owl and tree, to the comp, clarity, and lovely dof, this couldn't be better. The EP's nice - Congrats on that. But the award beneath it should really be gold... #11137596
