I missed all the fun last week. This was taken a couple of weeks ago. These two Red-shouldered hawks had mated and then obligingly posed for some photos:S3: I used fractalius blended with soft light then a little Nik Tonal Contrast.
Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

I think the color really adds a wonderful quality to an already wonderful image.

Cheryl, this is beautiful. Well posed couple! The fract work is wonderful. I love the effect it has had on both the hawks and the moss. Very nicely done!

Great look Cheryl, I do kind of wish the moss went to the top a bit more in just the corner area. The colors of the berries really make this special. Nicely done w/ the two hawks.:S3:

Beautiful composition, Cheryl. Love the look back pose. The effect reminds me of the Japanese painting. Nicely done.
