I want to start off by saying that I love the new voting system, well done to our admins. I thought that 10 photos was the perfect amount as well.
Congrats to Lisa, it's a great photo :wow: The muted background was perfect for bringing out the details of the hawk.
excellent shot lisa. and congrats.
Beautiful picture there...thought it might be yours, Lisa. How big of a lens were you using here?

Lisa, it is a fabulous shot. It helps to have a wonderful subject, but lighting and background in contrast with beautiful details and a great turn of the head... it is very nice :-D
