This image was taken at Merritt Island NWR on our last visit there.

Modification included Dry Brush and Poster Edge.

Enjoy!

Mark, I really like the subtle yet very effective treatment you have done on this image. The bird is so crisp and clear.

[Cindy Mead]

your filtering works well here.. just enough line definition and the bold/contrasting colors look great. Very well done :)

Very nice image, Mark. I like the stare and the subtle but effective treatment. I might just lighten the left side of the bird's face a bit.

Nice composition, Mark. That's heck of a look!! Love the treatment.

Thanks for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

He was sitting on the top of the tree and stayed there for the time we were viewing him. Got a lot of shots of him, as he appeared to not be phased by our presence. Sometimes luck is with you. This was one of them.

Chris, I did lighten the left eye area, but started to loose it so pulled back slightly. Being that it is in the shade, of the head, I didn't want to overdo it and make it look unnatural. But appreciate your comment.

Mark - great image! Just the right amount of filters. And what a stare:)
