Thanks Chewy and Vachss.
I probably took 20 to 30 shots of this hawk on that particular branch. I shoot in bursts of two or three as the head angle changes, looking to catch an eyelight or intense stare with both eyes or "special" pose. I had so many to chose from that I actually did RAW conversion, cropping and adjustments on about eight. I select the processing cut by looking at in-camera jpegs at full screen and then examine the eyes at 100%, looking for super sharpness. After processing, I'll pick the best one by running a little slideshow several times to see how I react and pick the one that strikes me most favorably. I keep all the processed files on my external HD, but usually use only one.
