Golden hour hawk: In post I realized this guy has only one leg and has what looks like a Mepps spinner in his chest.

Very nice photo.Thanks for posting.
Dumb question, though- what is a "Mepps spinner"?

Buckeye Loc: Dayton, OH.

Mepps makes inline spinner lures for fishing. And thanks for looking.

Buckeye: WOW!! Now that's a 'one in a million' shot! Only one leg and a Mepps spinner for a necklace. You can bet that would be hanging on my wall at max size if it were mine!! What do you suppose his odds are of having both of those issues??? Awesome photo! Ricontech

Thanks Ricontech! It is one of my favorites shots of all time. I was dumbfounded when I saw it up close in post. Makes one wonder what he had been up to.

He must be in a fishing area to have a necklace like that one!! That is a great shot but I sure didn't like the branches all over the prime subject of the shot. Just thought I would clean it up a bit for you as I really like that shot and hope some day I will have something close to it to hang on my wall!!
Have a great day!!

Thanks! He was sorta hiding in the tree and I didn't have a choice of the angle I had so I just left them in the shot.

The originally shot photo has more interest I think. Your interpretation eliminates too much of the environment which was/is a plus in my opinion.
