Don't have a single cowboy picture in my collection and no time to go find any this week, so I'm posting this instead. OOTB due to the cloud brush I used for the sky, which was pure blue. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I like the clouds. Didn't think the bird would hold up to scrutiny in the other fora, so tell me what you think! :D

I love your use of the cloud brush Kerry. If you didn't say, I wouldn't have known. What a great idea! Well done! :)
Ken I agree with above comment about cloud brush it really makes this image...the hawk ain't bad either...lolol...
Kerry, Nice hawk image!! The underwing detail is great! The clouds are realistic and this looks like a lone cowboy in the sky to me-with western colors!!!
Hi Kerry. I really like the cloud treatment! The bird is very well lit, showing great field marks! Did you do anything to the bird? It looks sort of illustrated in the head/neck area. Great depth with the sharp bird and the sharp clouds!
The clouds look great, Kerry, and I think they add to the image. I also like the light on the hawk. Nice job!
Hi Kerry, Nice placement of the clouds in a diagonal line and the cloud creation. The bird works iwell in the image also. Nice one!
Thanks all, much appreciated!
Dan, nothing but sharpening on this one!
Kerry, great job on the clouds and the lighting is beautiful on the hawk. I like it a lot:D
