It's a super shot Ann and very honest of you to mention the repair job. I like it as presented, with regard to colours, an alternative would be to address the colour balance at the raw stage - I do think there is still a blue cast

Love the pose, perch and BG. Great job with the repair, this canvas was well worth it. TFS

Wingtip: If you hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't have noticed it! OK, I still don't notice it, so that is a good thing. Good take-off pose, perch, BG. Yes to the colour cast still being there - you can use the cyan slider in hue-saturation to further remove that cast. Pretty cool frame!!

The repost is much better as the whites in the underwing are no longer blue. Not sure of the species. Maybe Dorian can help ... The pose is mega. The repair is excellent.

Ann, fabulous job on the canvas add and I learned a new technique from you today on that, thank you!
Fabulous take-off pose, beautiful wing position, fantastic bkg with the very dramatic gray palette.
Also, great job on the repost taking the cyan down. You're getting the hang of it!

Hello Artie, Thank you. Doug saw my post and told me it is a red tailed hawk...

I didn't even notice the clone job until you revealed it, so that's good (even if I'm vehemently against such heavy creation). The liftoff with the fully extended legs is money! The eye pops nicely even though the head intersects the body. The repost with the blue knocked down looks much better.
This looks like a young-ish Red-tail to me. Adults often lose the speckled and form a more even band across the breast.

Love the leaning take off pose. I do not notice any wing tip repair. Crazy how much darker these birds are than the eastern ones i see.
