Enough with the Rain!

I posted a couple of other shots of this Cooper's Hawk in the weekly challenge this past week and I'd posted a few back when I took them about a year ago. I'd processed this one, so I thought I'd post it here.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 484 mm, hand held, f/8, 1/800, iso 800, aperture priority, pattern metering. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped from a horizontal original to a 10 MP vertical before resizing. Taken in our back yard at 12:58 pm on August 7th, 2016.

Your comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Awesome pose and composition, Dennis. The rain and backdrop make this a beauty. I like the attitude the hawk is expressing. devil

Good one Dennis I would move it a tiny bit off central but no big deal. Same here-rain,rain,rain. Never known a year like it.

Very nice Dennis. Intense eye contact, calling pose and a two-toned background.
