Redtail Hawk - Click image to view larger!

Thanks for viewing/comments! Handheld shot ... just trying to see how

far I can get! :-)

Saw it larger, technical very good quality, but the darker part of the sky on the top right didn't disappear! Easy to clean by diagonal cloning in this case!

Why the lower side of the wing is so dark ?, because it is in the shadow or there are different colours on the plumage, ciao Giangiorgio

Very sharp and clear, nice shot.

Merci Beaucoup Pierre! Glad to know about that dark area, I did clean up that spot but failed to see it still there on my little laptop screen.

Grazie mille Giangiorgio! It's early morning light and the bird was side lighted, the lower wings were even darker and I lighted it up some already with shadows/highlight but I was afraid of over doing it. May be I should lighten it up some more ?

Thanks Jim!
