    Default Motif: Red-shouldered Hawk?

    After consulting two guides, I'm pretty sure my ID is correct but obviously I'm not totally confident so please confirm if you would. This is almost full frame and I added canvas on the right. C&C encouraged and appreciated. Thank you for looking!

    Nice job with the +EC Katie. The bird looks pretty good! If you're going to add canvas, it helps to blend it with what's adjacent to it. When I add canvas, I use the bucket tool first; I select a representative color from an adjacent area and 'pour' it into the newly added canvas. Then I use the clone or brush tool as needed to add matching environment to the new canvas.

    I like it Katie !!

    Love the pose and raised foot !!! The area by the tail looks a little strange Did you have to open up? I like Doug's suggestion for adding the canvas and there are others also !!! Will have a motif in the future for adding canvas !!! :)

    Hi Katie - very nice.

    Agree with all of the above, would also maybe darken the eye a little.

    Well done

    Katie, I love the raised foot and bird is nice and sharp. I think the angle is pretty good too, considering these guys are always way up high. I may be the only one but I find maybe just a bit more room to the left might not be a bad idea, tail looks pretty close to the edge.
