Red Tail Hawk

Dennis Kaczor

Here are a couple more from this last couple of weekends of the same hawk, not as graphic, but I wanted to share these ones with the members.
I added the first one in this series as well, I kind of like this one, shows motion in this image.

Excellent, Dennis!

Number two is so good that I would take the time to make the background look as good as the bird...maybe give it a little more room all around with a bit more top and left and keep the bird and the perch as is.

Hi Ric, thanks for your comments and suggestions, I can give it more room on the top and left side, but the top would need some cloning out of some branches, and then there is a tree trunk on the left to deal with and that is why I have it the way it is. With that said, I will work on the image on the weekend and play around with the seond image to see if there is a way to add more space overall, and clean up the background. Thanks again.
