Red Shouldered Hawk

I shot this image this morning in dark, heavy fog. I did the best I could to bring out the beautiful colors the hawk and still maintain some detail, which required lightening the tone. If I had left the dark foggy appearance as It was the hawk would be too dark. Unfortunately, the fog played havoc with achieving sharpness and brightness in processing. Still, I was thrilled with what I got.

Light overcast (thin fog) is the best possible lighting for bird shots. It is like a big softbox. Nice job with this.

I wasn't expecting much after your description, Vern, but this is a lovely shot of him. :)
