The colour and the detail on the bird is lovely and sits well on the nice bg,trunk of the tree does draw my eye a bit which is a shame, can't always get them just where we would like them, after saying this Bill I would be very pleased if it was mine.
Great looking hawk indeed with t a nice profile pose. The head tilted down makes me think it was observing something below. Yes, the trunk competes for attention - it would have been great for the hawk to give you a look-back head angle here to get it looking away from said trunk, but nature does not always abbey on command! A few processing artifacts to be cleaned at bottom.
Thank you all. I hadn't thought of removing the trunk -- it's a rather severe intervention -- but it does improve the image. I may have introduced a hint of posterization in converting to jpeg. Daniel, I'm not seeing the artifacts you refer to , but maybe I got rid of them here?
Cool looking raptor Bill. I like the colors and the detail in this and the re-post with the tree removed looks much better IMO. Well done
