I was taking some pictures in the backyard this afternoon and this hawk flew by me and landed on the fence about 10 feet away from me.
I'm not sure but I think it's a juvenile Sharp Shinned Hawk.

Make a "sharp" photo today any way you interpret it, either tack-sharp focus or a subject that is sharp itself.

Old wooden and concrete hulks beached to protect the shore line along the Severn estuary.
I experimented with different post-processing
We had this visitor to our garden today. He was happily munching (ah, shredding) something gray and gutty, just below our window, enthralling the cats. He stayed for a long time, until I frightened him, taking this photo. Thing is, he's not in my bird book. Any help from my flickr friends would be most appreciated. He was just a bit bigger than your largest mourning dove. We get marsh hawks, turkeys, crows and ravens and other bird feeder birds, but I've not seen one like this yet. Ideas? Many thanks!
