Red Tailed Hawk

[Alex Becker]

Hi all,

A RTH frame from about a year ago that I remembered when I was noting the changing leaves this week. In post dropped exposure slightly, added some canvas above, cropped ~20% off, NR on BG and sharpened.

Camera: Nikon D3300
Lens: 200-500mm f/5.6 at 500mm
Specs: 1/2500 ISO 400 f/5.6

Thanks for looking and commenting on prior posts!

Thanks Artie, always appreciated. This was taken at the Pole Farm in NJ -- this past winter there was this RTH who was relatively approachable as well as a decent number of harriers, although I never got a frame that I was really happy with of the latter.

Nice scene. Good wing position. As posted there seems to be a softness along the forehead and top of the bill.

Thanks Daniel -- I'll revisit the file and add some sharpening. Best,
