Texas Red-Tailed Hawk 2

Gallery: AvianPosted February 7, 201673 views4 comments

I managed a few flight shots when this guy took off. Taken along the same stretch of road where I found the Kestrels. For some reason, this particular hawk is very tolerant of me. I really like the good look at the broad wings. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014 along with Light Crafts LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice flight shot. Good sharpness. Light handled well. Does the hawk have something in its talons?

Richard, I saw the same thing. I think it is a piece of branch from the perch he flew from.
