The watchful Hawk

Taken at the Bird of Prey Center in Sussex, I worked on this Hawk with

some landscape and sunrise shots that I had taken, and it took AGES to

get the right feel! These birds are stunning!

Edited in Aperture 3 and Photoshop4

Original photos blended and then enhanced with textures and layers, some

my own, one from ShadowHouse Creations, one from Darkwood67

Camera Nikon D300

Lens Nikon 18-200

Thanks Kombizz! I just brightened the catchlight a fraction to enhance it a touch!

It's artwork, beautiful. Frame it and hang it on the wall. The time you put into this was worth it and the result speaks for itself. Great work.
