The gaze of a hawk cannot be escaped no matter how far you run or how deep you hide. This amazing capture of a hawk perched on a branch as though both he and the branch are literally floating in the air is a perfect testament to the scouting gaze of an expert hunter focused on the mission at hand. The backdrop exquisitely compliments the detail of the image and its main subject and serves as a highlight to the foreground. The creator perfectly stabilized this portrait against the blue sky, which serves as a fitting backdrop to the exquisitely executed photograph in the wild.
