Lookback Nighthawk

Well, it seems all I have been seeing lately are Nighthawks. So, bear with me. I like the over teh shoulder look that this guy (gal) gave me. Processed using Lightroom 6 and Photoshop CC 2014 along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Odd to be seeing so many of a normally pretty elusive bird, Jerry. A nice pose, indeed. Excellent job keeping the focus on the face which is very crisp.

Sweet color palette, Jerry. And nice techs. If it wer mine, I'd clone out the bit of bird dropping on the post.

Great lighting and pose, Jerry. Excellent capture of this species we don't get to see often in the open.
