Red-shouldered hawk

[Cheryl Slechta]

I used several different textures on this one, then Topaz B&W using slight simplify, film grain and transparency, then Topaz Adjust Soft Focus.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.:S3:

Cheryl, great pose and perch. Nice use of textures and filters adding up to a really nice image. Love the touches of orange in the branches for added color. Well done!

Nice image and application, Cheryl.

Nice effect of the filters.

This is beautiful, Cheryl! I love the pose and composition, and the textures and muted colors give it the perfect feel. Only thing I might change would be to add a catchlight to the eye. Very well done!
