20081117 089 Rough-legged Hawk.jpg

Ottawa

A bit of a challenge to get this shot off in the snow; however, the Hawk accommodated me nicely by staying put and looking straight at me.

Further to Carol Breton's initiative w.r.t. showing one's votes publicly on Pbase, I have concluded that I too will discontinue showing my votes. I will of course continue voting for images that I consider to be photographically superb (not that I am an expert) as well as for those showing unique and difficult to get shots and those having educational merit. I will continue to appreciate your (hidden) votes for images warranted, but more importantly, your constructive comments, both complimentary and/or critical will continue to be most welcome. Any suggestions for improvement are also very much appreciated. For further review of and for many comments regarding this voting issue, see Carol's comments/images at http://www.pbase.com/image/106382534 .

Good eye contact Hank, nicely captured in the snow. Regarding voting, this was brought up by Brian McAlllister last year and many members then stated that indicating if you vote should be a personal choice. I never indicate if I vote or not it is my prerogative and a private choice...I just like to share my images and I do appreciate all your comments ..
