I snapped a shot of the red tailed hawk from the window of my car and it was too buried in the grass to be a great photo so I started in with the filters and this is the result

Joel, Nice effect. It looks like you used the liquid tool also. I like the pose and the hawk looks good. I might tone down the couple of bright white areas.
I especially love that fire in the BKGR. Yes to Denise's suggestion to tone down the whites and also to possibly thin the white outline around the bird.

Joel, the fire in the background is so cool. I love the fierce look in the eye. Agree about the white, I might tone down the legs. Very well done.

Very nice, Joel. Excellent pose and frac work. I especially like the "flames" in the BG and the intense expression. Well done. :)
Excellent fract work, Joel. Love the bg flames and the expression. Nice base image.
I also love that BG and think you did a nice job on the bird - his eye really draws me in.
