Hawk and photoshop

Roadkill

Original:

The shot was taken at an Eco animal display. This hawk was rescued after flying into some power lines and losing its right wing.






This was my first photoshop attemp on some difficult editing. The feathers posed the biggest problem. Any advice tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Very nicely done to me. The background looks seamless. Handsome hawk too.

Looks nice. I think you should try to blur the sky

+1 yes, the wing border is slightly blurred and then the sky is sharp. Try to reverse this as Awais has suggested.

Rock on... There was always something about the image that looked off to me, but for some strange reason I didnt notice that. That is sure to help...

Thanks.

Nice work. Since the wing blur could be due to motion, I don't see anything wrong with the shot the way it stands.

Blurred the background a bit, I think it looks better, Thanks for the input.
