A redtailed hawk taking off from a leafless branch. Its wings and tails are fully extended, showcasing the striking dark/light banding there. It was shot at a full 600mm so the depth of field is very shallow, giving great blur to the green grasses, tan boulders and oak trees on the hillside beyond it.
Distant mountains highlight a passing storm, light etches the folds on ridges and peaks.
