Red-tailed hawk

[BrentC]

With some advice from @Derrel and especially @kap55 with his edit to see what can be done with this photo, here is my edit. Not sure if its as good as what kap55 did but I am very pleased with it and learned quite a bit during the process. Still lots to learn but coming along.

This was the original thread - Red-tailed hawk - C&C advice needed

That is really great work. The first is a big improvement over your earlier edit - the hawk seems 3 dimensional now.

Yes, about a 20% crop. I was right under the tree where he was perched.
