Leaving Church

The Downtown Red Tail as she drops off the top of one of her many perches here in Biddeford, Maine - Handheld (no BushHawk in the Downtown!) f5.6 at 1/1000 iso320 500mm on 30D - Bob

It's an interesting angle and nice detail on the underneath side. I just wish that the head was visible. You have nice light and great hawks.....you just need shorter churches and steeples.

Here is one for another perch - I am working on access to a roof later this winter when a building with a clock tower changes hands to a friend. Thinking of setting up a blind! This would put me within 35 feet.
Thanks for the comment. Bob Malbon

Hi Bob,

Cute title. I like the exposure and blue sky bg, but the steep angle and the turned away view of the Hawk don't appeal to me. The second image with eye visible and the wings and tail spread I find more appealing, but it looks like you've got a halo from use of the SH tool. Try slecting the subjects only and then apply the SH tool. This should avoid the halo.
