Hi folks

This is another one from my recent visit. This chap was quite friendly, i took few shoots of him and he kept posing for me :)

A little about Red-shouldered Hawk from wiki:
The Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico.

But we have one here in Pakistan too lol XD

Shoot in RAW processed in Capture NX2 then fancy stuff in PS CS3

Thanks for viewing have a good day :)

Cheers
JZM

P.S: I've posted the orignal version in the workshop :)

Hello Jahanzeib

Très belle effet de flou Hollywoodien sur ce portrait d’oiseau, Bravo.

Hello Jahanzeib,

This is a sharply focussed portrait of this hawk, detailing well the sharpness of the eye, the sharpness of the beak and the texture of the plummage.

Although everything else is fine, to me, the colours seem a little flat. I have added a w/s with a suggestion which I hope you will like.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi JZM,
Outstanding shot! You should be taking photos for the National Geographic! So sharp and clear, I love the caramel colours in the feathers. Well focused and nicely presented too. Impressive work mate.

TFS,
Scott.

HI
A friendly hawk, I guess in captivity they eventually learn that humans can feed them.
Good focus on the beak and eyes with great sharpness.

yar jahanzeb, i would much prefer a re-post of the same image without the bells and whistles (the text and the borders).... remember the JPGMAG version???

and hey! hawk photos don't need glamour diffused glow... if the original photo packs enough punch, why bother giving it a make-up??

WOW! This is an awesome shot Jahanzeib! Nice work on this! It almost looks like that Fractile program, really awesome sharpness, along with the soft glow it's super interesting shot!
