Photographed this hawk during the early morning this past weekend. I did clone the right eye and move it to the left. Also removed the leg bands. Thanks for looking.

Hi Dan. I like the position of the tail feathers and how they are fanned out behind the legs. I also like the wing spread with the tips up.

Dan - I'll second Julie's comment - the tail in this shot looks great! Cloned or not, those piercing eyes really pop.

Thanks Jeff. I was hoping the clone job did not look obvious.

Dan, great capture. Love the vegetation across the bottom. Thanks for disclosing the Photoshop work and a good job as I never would have known it!
Cheers,

Dan, you nailed this. I like the eye contact, and the angle of approach. Good show of the wingspan, and fanned tail, and just love the light and colours.

I was gonna right "talk about sharp on the eyes" but after reading more carefully I will say, "talk about sharp on the eye times two." I love the angled flight. It looks as if I am the only one wondering if it is too yellow....

Thanks again for the comments. I could take a little yellow out. But the light was pretty nice that morning!
