This is certainly a beautiful hawk.......stately pose and nice BG. The only thing that bothers me is that the eye is so dark that it almost seems to be missing. Did you get any other images where there's some light on the eye to give it "life"? Perhaps selecting the eye and lightening it a bit might help. I "messed" with S/H and then just used cloning/smudging to bring up an eye......see what you think. It might give a better idea of what to try.

Hi Lana, Yes I do have other shots of the Harris Hawk, I just don't know enough about photoshop to do this sort of adjusting. I do like what you've done. Don't know how But I like yours much better. Thanks a Bunch.
