This photograph features a juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk I encountered perched on a low branch near the roadside. Carefully positioning myself to take advantage of the natural light, I framed the shot with sunlight illuminating the bird’s left side while hard shadows fell across its right, creating a dramatic and balanced composition. As I observed quietly, the hawk became aware of my presence and locked eyes with the camera—offering a brief but powerful moment of connection. It was during this fleeting gaze that I captured the image. Using my Sigma 150-600mm Sport lens, allowed me to preserve the fine detail and intensity of the scene.
