Red Tailed Hawk (different technique)
SonyA700~Sony70-400G@400mm~ISO640~F7.1~1/800 sec~manual exposure~HH~1-13-2010~Brays Bayou, Houston, Texas~CS4/ CS4/Topaz Adjust3(small detail preset)/Topaz Clean2
Used my usual technique for the same bird as last post(different pose).
I could have cloned out some, or most, of the branches, but they seemed to form a frame(sort of) and didn't seem too distracting.
comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill
Bill, I love your usual technique and it looks great here. I too think that the branches frame the bird nicely. Very nice pose and eye contact. Color toning and pale blue sky BG are nice.
Nice image and application Bill.
Like the off center placement, I'm not one for centering the birds.
Not a major problem with the branches, as Denise noted. I might just clip the larger branch off the bottom branch at the left border to bring it into the frame, but not a need. Just seems that maybe it would do something to the image. I wouldn't remove it, just trim it a little. But ...
Your image ... your vision.
Beautiful work on the bird, Bill - the detail is sharp without being overdone. I could stare at it for a very long time. I also like the branches that form the frame...might consider taking off the small ones that are near the tail if that's possible but I'd leave the rest.
Bill, I really love this. The lighting is very, very nice. I agree with Julie on evicting the lower branch by the
tail. I like the arching branch that helps frame the bird.:)

Bill this is awesome..If I didn't know you created it, I swear it was a Bateman...removing a few branches would help...but very nice effect
wow, this sings.. the details pop right off the page and I really love the soft colors here. Beautiful image Bill :)
