    Default Red Shouldered Hawk

    From a recent trip to Joe Overstreet, one of my in flight nemesis species from that trip.

    Stunning. I like it because it show the colors on the top of one wing and the bottom of the other.

    When I first looked at it, I thought it has the slightest color cast or haze, and I mean slightest, but this could just be my monitor.

    Hey David,

    Nice capture! I know they can be hard to get ;)

    Just to push you around a bit, my nit is the tip of the bill merging into a similar color in the wing, although I like his left wing frames the head.

    Where's Jennifer's Puffin? :)

    Great details and light. The edges of the wing feathers look a bit odd on my monitor, maybe related to the magic wand tool?

    Nice one Dave. Perhaps a bit too much sharpening around the face area.

    Excellent image. No issues that I can see. I'd be happy with one half as good.
