  6. I second what Kel said. I was immediately captivated by how the beautiful hawk's colors so perfectly match those of the beach below. And with that blue sky and water as a backdrop - wow! What a brilliant photograph!

  8. Hi Kathie

    That first photo is spectacular. It is such a gorgeous shot with the beautiful colours of the bird against the blue of the ocean and the sky.
