Caught this Inmature Harris's Hawk beside the fishpond in one of our neighbourhood parks about 4 blocks away. Was more interested in the carp and goldfish than me.

Nice one Gus. Excellent details and colour, perhaps a bit dark or needs some shadow reduction. Just noticing the nice lush grass in bg. probably need to move north for a while Gus so you can better appreciate that stuff. Dave
Hi Uncle Gus,
I like the composition and capture...I like the turned head pose...the details are sharp and the eye is crystal clear...I would suggest opening up the mid-tones and the sdadows...its a little bit under exposed...also need to do a light pass of noise reduction...also their is a vertical brown stick going up the bird's neck; need to clone it out...looking forward to the next one...well done Uncle...:):cool:
P.S. I would consider eliminating the shadow in the background that slices throught the bird's head...clone in some grass to patch it up...:D
Hi Gus ..... don't blame him at all ...they probably taste better :)
Might go with a little more room around the bird and clearing he one stick by the neck ! Sure hope you get other chances at that fine bird it will be back !!!
