Thank you, Frank -- and thanks for the kind words.
I guess looking at my photos at full resolution on a 24" screen revealed
a LOT of noise and, oddly enough, blur and a general lack of sharpness
in some images that looked much better to my on my old monitor. The
stuff I post here is typically

sides from stray light getting on the monitor.

Yup, a red tailed hawk.
Make sure you calibrate your spiffy new monitor--from the factory they're
designed to have things bright and punchy. That can make pix look dark and
timid to others, and in prints.
I've been very happy with my Dell U2410 and U2411 (1 at home, 1 at work).
Cheers,

Nice! I didn't see the original, but I like this one. I've yet to
photograph one of these redtails with food. Whenever I see them they
just seem to be hanging around, chillin.
But back to your shot: great pose, and whatever you cropped out, good
riddance! :-)

Great experience - I had a similar experience once, but with a kestrel and

I had a red tail sighting on my street recently but didn't even get one

was, in fact, a red-tail...
