    After a bad day of Rubber -Eating Vultures:eek::D, a great "Find". Amazing to watch this raptor hunt. Big Thks to Don lacy for his patient PS teaching, and Sid's suggestions! The three of us enjoyed the process of following this guy around for quite awhile.
    Happy Easter To all!

    Don,

    Lot's to like here HA, eye, nice color and IQ is strong. Might remove second catchlight - TFS - great find and you captured it well.

    Stunning capture with fantastic detail!

    Maybe oversharpened around the eye?

    Really stands out from the background, stunning bird. Agree with the comment about the eye being oversharpened. I really have difficulty getting the sharpening right.
