Great shot, Jim! The subject isolation is excellent. Wonderful warm fall colors and spot on focus.

Thanks, K. This was a fun shot to get.

This hawk will be sharper than the duck for a few reasons. The wood duck was: taken with an older camera with fewer pixels, and had more digital mag (crop), and more importantly, was shot through a glass window. In addition, a wood duck has much smoother feathers.
I re-edited the wood duck to make it as sharp as it can be and posted a new version.

Great shot, Jim! Cristal clean & sharp. The sharpness is slightly missing by the previous one.
